Guide / Fields
Shared and personal fields
One value for everyone, or each person’s own: ratings, progress and notes on a shared entry.
A field has a scope. A shared field holds one value that everybody sees: the studio, the year, the inventory number. A personal field holds a separate value for each person, visible only to its owner: “My rating”, “My notes”, “Episode I am on”.
- Personal fields appear in the entry form in their own part, and on the entry page under “yours”.
- The button My tracking on an entry page opens just your personal values, so you can update them without permission to edit the entry at all.
- On a card, a personal value is edited in place like any other, and is saved as yours.
- Filters and sorting by a personal field use your own values.
Note. This is what makes a shared library work for a family or a team: the entries are common, the opinions are not. In public registries, personal fields are never part of what is published.
