Layer has 22 different field types to set up your category with. This is what makes Layer flexible enough to store pdf drawings, text, dates, phone numbers, emails, site photos and anything else you may need.

See below for our list of all fields types to choose from. Our most used fields are the Text, Text Area, and Select field which allow users to capture a majority of the data they need.

At the bottom of the list are Revit fields which are only available in Revit Model Categories.

If you have a question about what is the best field type to use, jump into the support chat to ask. (See Layer Support)
