introduction to the additional information module

Additional information is a custom entry form that enables users to provide information for areas that are not default to the Bombyx system. Whether that’s trade references for unique customer processes or risk assessments, additional information enables users always to have a place to store their data in a way that works for them as a business in our platform. The function allows users to create data tables with attribute fields in the format of date/time pickers, text boxes/areas, drop-downs, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more.
