Text Field
Short text entry. Use for single-line values like turbine IDs, names, or codes.

| Before value | Optional prefix text rendered before the entered value (e.g. R:) |
| After value | Optional suffix text rendered after the entered value (e.g. mm) |
| Row span | How many rows this cell occupies vertically (default 1) |
Text Area
Multi-line text entry. Use for descriptions, notes, or observations.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Field label | Required. (e.g. Description of Work) |
| Row span | Typically set to 2 or more for readable multi-line input |
Text Areas do not support prefix/suffix.
Date Field
Date picker. Renders as a native date input during inspection.
| Property | Description |

When set to From setup, the date is entered once on the Setup screen and copied to all cards. Date fields are never prefilled by "Remember last used values".
Time Field
Time picker. Renders as a native time input during inspection.

Static Labels are not data cells — they do not appear in the Box configuration of a card.

Logo cells are not data cells.
Empty / Spacer
