Creating and Customizing New Entries and Fields using Pybliographic

Each entry type in Pybliographic is linked to a number of fields.  For example, author, translator, etc.  Users can create their own entry type specific to their needs.  For example, magazines or music tablatures or modify the entries to suit their purpose.

To create a New Entry Type and associate data entry fields to the Entry Type:

1. Click Settings then Fields.

2. Switch to the Entries tab.  In the Entry type box, type a new entry type (e.g. General Periodical).

3. Click Add.
4. Switch to the Association tab. 

5. Select fields from the Available list that are required for the new entry type.  For example, a General Periodical would need fields for author, publisher, date, etc. For each selected field, click Add.  The field will appear on the Associated box. 
6. Place a checkmark on fields that are considered mandatory.  An unchecked field is considered optional.

To create unique data entry fields:

1. Users may want to add a data entry field that is not listed in the Available box.  Click the Fields tab and type a data entry field name on the Name box.

2. On the Type box, select either Text, Long Text, Date, Authors, Reference, or URL.  The Type determines how the field accepts entries.
