Power of doctype Customization in Frappe

Frappe’s approach to customization is simple yet powerful.

With minimal technical expertise, you can shape your forms and processes exactly how you want them.

Here are the standout features that make Doctype customization a breeze.

• Add and Rearrange Fields 
      With Frappe, you can easily add new fields of various types—text, date, dropdowns, 
      or even tables—and rearrange them with a simple drag-and-drop interface.
• Smart Forms with Conditional Logic
      Why show a field when it’s not relevant? 
      Frappe lets you create dynamic forms where fields appear only under specific conditions using 
      “Depends on” feature.
• Default Values for Faster Data Entry
      Set default values for frequently used fields to save time and reduce errors. 
      Whether it’s a static value like a country or a dynamic one like today’s date, Frappe has got 
      you covered.
• Interactive Workflows Made Easy
      Frappe integrates workflows into Doctypes, allowing you to define and handle approval mechanism 
      and automate status changes more effectively.
      Like setting up a “Quotation Approval” workflow where sales executives can draft quotes, and 
      managers can approve them with a single click.
• Supercharge Functionality with Custom Scripts
      Sometimes, you need more than just static fields. 
      Frappe enables you to add JavaScript-based Client Scripts for real-time validations and 
      dynamic updates, or Server Scripts for database operations and backend logic.
      For example you can auto-calculate total working hours in a Timesheet or validate 
      email formats before submission.
• Seamless Integrations with Other Doctypes
      Link your Doctype to other Doctypes using the “Link” field type. 
      This enables real-time data fetching and streamlined workflows.
      For example you can pull customer details automatically into a Sales Invoice when you s
      elect their name.
• Customize Print Formats to Match Your Brand
      Your documents should reflect your brand’s identity. 
      Frappe allows you to customize print formats with rich formatting and templates using Jinja.
      Design an invoice with your company logo, unique terms and conditions, and dynamic table layouts.
• Child Tables for Complex Data Handling
      Handle more detailed data structures with ease using child tables. 
      Perfect for items in invoices, tasks in projects, or multiple approvers in workflows.
• Export Customizations
      And the best part - Your customizations made via the Customize Form tool stay intact even 
      after system upgrades via Export customizations feature.

      Bundle up all the customizations in a single package and call it a custom app and use it 
      in multiple environments. 

      No more worrying about losing changes after a version update!

      All in all Frappe’s doctype customization is more than a feature—it’s a superpower. 

      From adding fields and workflows to dynamic form behavior and seamless integration, it transforms how you manage data.
      It’s easy to use, even for non-developers.
