    Dynamic Custom Field 

    A dynamic custom field allows the user to display a field value based on two other fields. To create a dynamic custom field you will need to define in Excel a matrix of values and upload it for 6clicks to reference. 

    As an example, we will create a dynamic custom field called Overall Importance using the two default third-party fields Criticality and Risk as the reference fields.

    In Excel, we have made Criticality the X-axis of the Matrix (1B, 1C, and 1D), and Risk the Y-axis (2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A). The remaining cells are Overall Importance values that will be displayed when the Criticality and Risk value are selected. 

    Save the Excel sheet and then in custom data we create a dynamic custom field.

    Double-click on the dynamic custom field you have created. We then select the Y-axis as Risk and the X-axis as Criticality (1) and upload the Excel sheet (2). Click Save.

    In a third party, after selecting Criticality and Risk, the Overall Importance field will populate.

    Note: Dynamic custom fields can be done for any custom dropdown fields you create.
