-Fields are the primary elements of a library's structure. A field is a holder for a unit of data, or value. Every field has a [[Field Type|'''''type''''']], a [[Field Name|'''''name''''']], and a '''''hint'''''. Fields may also have advanced parameters or display options, depending on the type of the field.

+Field names are case-insensitive and may contain spaces. In theory, any string of UTF-8 characters can make up a field name, though in practice, certain limitations may apply, such as using periods or at signs ('.' or '@') may be problematic when using Calculation fields.
 Field hints will be displayed in the field during editing to prompt the user for what to type.
