Custom Dropdown Options

Generic software gives you generic choices. A status dropdown with "Active" and "Inactive." A priority dropdown with "High," "Medium," and "Low." Categories that almost match what you need but not quite.

Swifty gives you the dropdown options that actually match your business.

Define Your Own Choice Lists

For any select or dropdown field in Swifty, you define the options. Create the list that makes sense for your workflow, using the terminology your team actually uses.

A project status might be: Incoming, Scoping, In Production, In Review, Delivered, Archived. A lead priority might be: Hot, Warm, Cold, Unqualified. A document type might be: Contract, Amendment, NDA, SLA, Quote.

These aren't system-defined presets you work around. They're your definitions.

Colors for Visual Clarity

Options can be assigned colors. A status of "Active" might be green. "Pending" might be amber. "Cancelled" might be red. "Completed" might be blue.

In list views, these options render as colored badges — making the status of a collection of records instantly readable at a glance without reading every value individually.

Color-coded status is one of those small UX improvements that compounds significantly when your team scans lists dozens of times a day.

Order That Makes Sense

The order of options in a dropdown matters. In Swifty, you arrange options in the order that's most logical for your workflow — typically the natural progression of your process. The dropdown presents them in that order every time.

Shared Definitions, Consistent Vocabulary

Because option lists are defined at the object level, every person using that object type sees the same options in the same order with the same colors. There's no drift, no individual customization that creates inconsistency, no confusion about what a value means.

Your business vocabulary is enforced consistently across your entire team.
