Field Types

Information regarding specific content-type fields used in Strapi relating to the needs assessment.

Specifically looking at:

  • Fields that are automatically populated from other fields. Examples:

    • the yearQuarter field in the NeedsAssessment.Survey
    • certain fields in the volume and weight components of the Product.Item collection (this may not relate to needs-assessment so much)

  • Fields that are titled differently in the Strapi collection versus the historic data. Examples:

    • need from the historic data is amount in the NeedsAssessment.Need collection
    • survey id from the historic data is reference in the NeedsAssessment.Survey collection

  • Fields that exist as a relation to another content-type (that must be a collection type). For example:

    • the item for a specific need in the NeedsAssessment.Need collection will exist in the Product.Item collection and, therefore, this particular field becomes a “Relation with Product.Item”.

    It is these relational fields that will need the accompanying id number from the other noted collection in the data transfer.
