Fields\u2019 visuals, search, and logical categorization help you decide quickly.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enter Field\u2019s Data:<\/strong> Just fill the data related to field: label, key, placeholder, description, default value, etc\u2026 You can also control field\u2019s visibility with visibility filters.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EDRot_n2BuU<\/p>\n\n<h3>Amazing new possibilities, you\u2019ve never seen before :<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>You can now <strong>organize<\/strong> your fields with <strong>incredible ease.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Its <strong>beautiful<\/strong> and <strong>minimal design,<\/strong> and <strong>how elegantly it responds<\/strong> to actions gives an absolute delight.<\/li>\n<li>We value your time, so there are <strong>no unnecessary ajax-calls<\/strong> and <strong>page-loads.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It demands almost <strong>zero learning.<\/strong> Using it is as easy as breathing.

If a single function can handle it, why to offer more. Offering more functions lead to more confusion, more complexity, and more effort\u2014exact opposite of our core values. How big deal it can be to learn using just one function. Even for learning this, you don\u2019t need to go anywhere else; code is provided where you create the field itself.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short and simple documentation :<\/strong> In a race to give more features than their competitors, companies end up making softwares so complex that at most times user struggles. Instead of putting efforts on design and ease of use, they try to explain everything in documentation. But ECF is different. It won\u2019t require you to refer documentation often\u2014everything is clear and obvious. Documentation is, however, created for ECF but is kept super simple and small. It only covers things that are not obvious.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fields management is not a pain anymore :<\/strong> In ECF, you have one place to create or manage fields for one location (let\u2019s say post type = post) and a completely separate place for another location (post type = page), and so on. No field sharing accross locations\u2014direct one to one mapping. Everything neatly organized. No matter how many fields you need to manage for each location, you\u2019ll do it with ease and confidence.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easily copy fields to other locations :<\/strong> In ECF, each location own its independent set of fields. If you want similar fields\u2014that you already created for one location\u2014for other locations, you can use this option.\nFollow the steps:\n&nbsp;\n&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>1)<\/strong> Select fields you want to copy.\n&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>2)<\/strong> Choose action \u201cCopy to other locations.\u201d\n&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>3)<\/strong> Choose locations where you want these fields.\n&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>4)<\/strong> Click \u201cCopy Selected Fields to Selected Locations\u201d button.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fields are trashed before permanent deletion :<\/strong> Now, you won\u2019t be interrupted with most irritating prompt in most software: \u201cAre you sure you want to delete\u2026?\u201d Whenever you press delete on a field or field-group, it will safely move to trash\u2014living there as long as you want. Whenever you feel the need, you can delete all or some of them in one go\u2014by selecting and deleting.\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can disable fields, groups, tabs, etc\u2026 :<\/strong> Disabling fields, groups, tabs, etc\u2026 is a great option to have. if you are unsure of an entity\u2019s (field, tab, section, repeater section) future need, don\u2019t delete it, disable it. It will hide disabled entities for your clients but remain in place to be shown whenever needed.
