Create and manage fields
Custom fields are the important aspect in shaping a layout. A layout is structured with a list of fields that are specific to your requirements. Once the user creates a layout they can start adding custom fields. You can create custom fields for Projects, Work Items, Epics, Releases, Meetings, Sprints, and Timesheets.
- Default Fields: The default fields are the standard fields that you view in the creation page.
- Custom Fields: The custom fields are the new fields that you add either to your default section or new section.
Both the Custom Fields and Default Fields can be marked as mandatory.
Default fields
Zoho Sprints has 11 default fields in each layout that cannot be modified or deleted from a layout. You can only reorder these fields.
