# Modify

Here, you have the ability to customize your module, offering a wide array of options at your disposal. These options are conveniently categorized into various sections, including "Website Properties" for fine-tuning the module's appearance and behavior, "Advanced Options" for advanced settings, "Table Schema" for managing the data structure, and "API Info" for integration purposes. Feel free to explore these sections and tailor your module to meet your specific needs.

# Table Schema

Manage your database table schema by adding or removing fields. The schema defines your module's data structure, including what information can be stored and how it's organized. Choose appropriate field types to optimize storage and stay within database limits.

Table Schema

Name	Description
Name	The database field/column name. Use descriptive names: single words (`name`, `email`, `message`) or multiple words separated by underscores (`first_name`, `zip_code`, `department_name`). No spaces allowed or dashes.
Type	Defines how data is stored and processed.
Length	Maximum characters or digits allowed. Use the smallest length that fits your data.
Allow Null	Check to allow empty values; uncheck to make the field required.
Default	Value automatically assigned to new records. Leave blank if not needed.
+/-	Add (+) or remove (-) columns from the schema.

Important

When creating or modifying a Table Schema, be aware of MySQL's 65,535 byte row size limit. If your module has many fields, you can exceed this limit, causing errors when saving entries.

Choosing the Right Field Type

Select the most appropriate field type for your data to minimize row size:

Field Type	Best For	Size	Notes
Character	Short to medium text	Variable	Specify length: (64) for short text like names/titles/codes, (255) for longer single-line text. Use the smallest length that fits your data.
Large Text	Long text, paragraphs, HTML/WYSIWYG content	~10 bytes	Best for descriptions, formatted content, and long-form text.
Blob	Binary data, serialized objects	~10 bytes	Use for storing complex data structures or binary content.
File	File uploads, file references	Variable	Stores file paths, names, and metadata for uploaded files.
Date Field	Dates without time	3 bytes	Use for deadlines, start/end dates, birthdays (format: MM/DD/YYYY).
TimeStamp	Dates with time	4 bytes	Use for event times, created/modified dates (includes date + time).
Integer	Whole numbers, checkboxes, status codes	4 bytes	Length (1) for yes/no/checkbox fields; (11) for IDs, counts, and general numbers.
numeric	Decimal numbers, currency, percentages	~8 bytes	Use for budget fields, prices, and monetary values requiring 2 decimal places (up to $999,999.99).
Serial Field	Auto-incrementing primary keys	4 bytes	Automatically generates unique sequential IDs for each record.
