Attributes in Suivi correspond to the types of data you want to add to your board. Each attribute has its own characteristics based on the type of data it must contain. For example, when you need to enter data that corresponds to a predefined and fixed list, it is advisable to use the Choice from a list attribute.
Suivi offers several families of attributes:
- Data Content Attributes
- Relational Attributes
- System Attributes (non-modifiable data)
Data Content Attributes
| Attribute Type | Description |
|---|
| Text | Allows you to enter simple text with a length limited to XX characters. |
| Long Text | Allows you to enter multiple paragraphs of text. The content will not appear in full, depending on its length, in views but will be accessible by hovering the mouse over the text. |
| Choice from a list | Allows you to define a list of choices with customization options (Simple text, icon + text, color + text) |
| Date | Allows entry of a date field. |
| Number | Allows entry of a number field which can take different forms such as:
• a whole or decimal number,
• a progress in % with optional progress bar display,
• a duration,
• a rating according to a defined scale represented by customizable icons (scale displayed in the form of stars for example),
• a score. |
| Checklist / Milestones | Allows you to define a kind of TODO list where each item will have a due date and an assignment to a board member. Each milestone can go through 3 states: to do, in progress, completed. These milestones can take on a different appearance (checkbox or diamond) when displayed in certain views depending on the attribute configuration. |
| Files | Allows you to attach files to each board item. |
| Deliverables | Allows you to define a list of deliverables for each board item. |
| Location | Allows you to enter a location and display it on a geographic map. It is essential if you want to use the Map view. |
| User | Allows you to select one or more users from the list of members with access to the board. The data is therefore displayed as the user's avatar and name. Note that it is also possible to select a team (a group of multiple board members). |
| Link | Allows you to enter link-type data. The link can appear as a label (in this case, the link will be entered as Label;Link URL) or as the link URL directly. It can contain one or more values. |
| Vote | Allows you to propose a vote to board members. The vote can be of the Like / Dislike type or rating assignment. Each member can only vote once and has access, according to the administrator's choice, to the vote results and/or the list of voters. The vote can finally be closed by the administrator once all votes have been cast. |
Relational Attributes
| Attribute Type | Description |
|---|
| Relation | Allows you to define a relationship and its inverse relationship between two boards. In the current board, the attribute will then offer the use of information from another board. |
| Lookup | Allows you to display in the current board data coming from a relationship. The displayed data is read-only and can only be modified in the "source" board.
For example: display the photo of a project manager from a relationship between a user (the project manager) and a project. |
| Link to a board | Allows you to establish a link to a board view that may be located in another workspace. Thus, when viewing the view, you can directly access the link target from the element. |

| Creation Date | Automatically displays the creation date of a board item. |
