Text Fields

Learn about Text fields in Noloco tables

Text fields are designed to hold basic text content. They are handy for incorporating short, non-numeric, and unformatted text such as names or titles. For instance, a text field could hold a value like 'Sample Text'.

Text Field Formats

• Single Line Store a single line of text, like a first name, or a company name

• Long Text Store multiple lines of text, like notes or description

• Email address Store an email address. Input fields ensure that all values are valid email addresses, like [email protected]

• IP address Store an IP address. Input fields ensure that all values are valid IP addresses, like 192.168.1.1

• URL Store a URL or website such as https://noloco.io or noloco.io.

Use Cases

Text fields are perfect for:

• Names and titles

• Short descriptions

• Comments and notes

• Contact information (when using specific formats)

• Reference codes and IDs

Best Practices

• Use Single Line for short, structured text like names or codes

• Use Long Text for descriptions, comments, or any multi-line content

• Choose Email, IP, or URL formats when you need validation for those specific data types

• Keep field names clear and descriptive to help users understand what information to enter
