Every Picklist item has a Long Description field that can be used to elaborate information that you may want to display on some document layouts, like the Kitchen Sheet, but withhold from others, like the BEO. This article HERE includes more information about this field.
The Long Description field can be made visible per document layout (i.e. the Kitchen Sheet, BEO, Invoice, Contract, Proposal) and will not be set to display by default. To make it so that a document layout displays both the regular and long description fields, please follow the steps below.
- Go to Settings > Documents > "Edit Layout" next to the layout you wish to adjust.
- Navigate to the Picklist field (i.e. Food) and click on it. A horizontal toolbar will open at the bottom of the screen.
- Use the Description dropdown to select “Both.”
- Repeat for each Picklist section in each layout that the long description needs to appear on.
- Click Save Layout in the upper left.
Once updated, both your current and future Kitchen Sheets will display both Description fields for items entered into the updated picklist sections. An example of how that would look (and how it looks without the Long Description) is displayed below for comparison.
