With Smart fields, Concord administrators can create standardized fields for use at the organization level that will be available on all Live documents. Smart fields can be inserted into documents to collect data (like form fields). The data entered into Smart fields will automatically appear in the Summary Sheet and can be included in custom Reports.
Create a Smart Field
All users will be able to view existing Smart fields in the left-hand navigation panel. For example, for an Administrator to create a Smart Field:
- From the Home page, click Smart Fields on the left side panel
- Click + Add field
- Enter a name for the Smart field. This field name will appear as placeholder text in the field when it is inserted into documents.
- Select the the field type. The Text type allows any text to be entered into the field. The Number type only permit numbers (and a one period for a decimal) to be entered into the field. Note that the field type cannot be changed once the Smart field has been saved.
Currently, Smart Fields can be renamed but cannot be deleted from the Smart Fields list.

- Internal creators (and Administrators) granted full editing rights on a document can insert Smart Fields

Edit an Inserted Smart Field in Document
