How can I delete fields I don't need anymore?

Do you no longer need a field? Just delete it - in the settings.

 


 

Note that you can only delete fields that you or your team have created yourself. All fields created by seventhings are mandatory, so you cannot delete them.

If you don't want to show certain fields, you have the possibility to show or hide them in the detail view or to set the visibility in the app. More about this in the field settings here.
