Assigning fields to Smart Grid tiles
The Smart Grid in ShopFields allows you to assign your custom fields to dedicated tiles, making it faster and easier for your staff to access frequently used fields during checkout.
Assigning fields to tiles
You can assign fields to tiles directly from the ShopFields admin panel. When assigning a field to a tile, you can customize:
- Title: A custom name for the tile that your staff will see
- Subtitle: Additional context or instructions to help staff understand when to use this field
Available tiles
ShopFields provides 5 tiles in the Smart Grid that can be assigned to fields. This gives you the flexibility to prioritize your most commonly used fields for quick access.
If you have a use case requiring more than 5 tiles, please contact us and let us know about your needs.
Default behavior for unassigned tiles
If a tile is not assigned to a specific field, ShopFields will show either a list of your fields, or if you only have one field, that field.
- Single field published: If you only have one field published, ShopFields will automatically load that field when the tile is tapped
- Multiple fields published: If you have multiple fields published, tapping an unassigned tile will display a list of all your available fields to choose from
This ensures that all your fields remain accessible even if they're not assigned to a dedicated tile.
Adding assigned tiles to the Smart Grid
Once you've assigned fields to tiles in the ShopFields admin, you'll need to add those tiles to your Smart Grid in Shopify POS:
- Open the Smart Grid in your Shopify POS app
- Click "Add tile" to add a new tile to your grid
- Select the ShopFields app from the list of available apps
- Select the numbered tile that corresponds to the tile you assigned your field to in the admin (e.g., Tile 1, Tile 2, etc.)
The tile will now appear in your Smart Grid with the custom title and subtitle you configured, giving your staff quick access to that specific field during checkout.
