Working with fields

Fields store information about your org, your people, and your jobs. For example, you might design a form for one-on-one meetings between your managers and their direct reports and leverage a custom field to capture feedback about what went well that week. Or, add a custom field that shows employee business units so members of your org can view that information on the Data Sheet. 

Fields are made up of the following elements:

  • Field label - Field name; indicates how a field is displayed in ChartHop. 
  • Field code - Unique identifier for a field; used in ChartHop’s search language, Carrot Query Language (CQL).
  • Data type - The type of information stored in a field, such as text, dates, or numbers. Learn more. 
  • Applies to - Whether the field applies to a person, a job, or a person in a job. Learn more. 
  • Dated - Whether the field has an effective date; for example, the announce date for a new hire. 
  • Sensitivity - The level of data access a ChartHop user must have to view this field's data. Learn more. 
  • Category - Groupings for fields; defines how they’re displayed on the Data Sheet. 

View your org's existing fields

The easiest way to get a list of the fields used in your ChartHop organization is to review them on the Fields page. The fields your organization uses are generally unique to how you are using ChartHop. From the Fields page, you can see which fields are in use in your organization and get a detailed list of all the available fields so you don't create new ones where an existing field can serve your needs. You can export this list for reference if needed.
