Custom Testcase Fields

Zephyr allows the creation of custom fields for testcases. Clicking on the Fields button of the Testcase section allows you to add, modify or delete custom fields for your testcases. There are no limits to the number of custom fields you can create.

From the above screen you can give the new custom field a field name, description, and then choose the field data type. Custom fields fall into six types:

Text - This is a single line field that allows text entry. A maximum of 1024 characters are allowed
Long Text - This is a multi-line free form text area. A maximum of 32K characters are allowed
Picklist - Also known as a drop-down list box, this allows a list of pre-defined values
Checkbox - A 2-state checkbox, always defaulted to being unchecked
Date - A date picker field
Number - This is a single line field that accepts only whole numbers and decimals

After selecting a data type, you can pick and choose which projects have access to the custom field or simply select the checkbox to include it for all projects.

Finally, you can further customize the field by giving it some usability features such as:

Searchable? - This allows the field to be search in Zephyr Enterprise. This option can be paired with the Search Field Name which can be specified separate from the field name and is used only when searching
Mandatory? - Require the field be filled when creating or editing a testcase
Importable? - Allow the field contents to be imported from an outside source, ie: Excel
Exportable? - Allow the field contents to be exported to an outside source, ie: Excel
Unique? - Make it so that no other custom field in Zephyr Enterprise can be named the same
