Beyond the custom fields you create, Luklak automatically provides two types of powerful, built-in fields on every Object. Understanding these fields is key to building a rich user experience and leveraging the full analytical power of the platform.
This guide covers fields that are provided by the system.
  • System Components are features you can show or hide on a Data Screen.
  • Auto-Generated Fields are read-only metadata for reporting and automation.

​
Configurable System Components

These are powerful feature blocks that you can choose to Show or Hide on any Data Screen to tailor the user experience for a specific Object Type.

Description

A prominent rich text block perfect for detailed explanations, instructions, or scope definitions.

Checklist

An interactive to-do list within the Object, ideal for breaking down minor sub-tasks or acceptance criteria.

Sub-objects

A dedicated section to create, view, and manage nested child Objects, enabling multi-level work breakdown.

Attachments

The area where users can upload and manage files, documents, and images related to the Object.

Live Photo

A mobile-first feature for capturing geo-tagged and time-stamped photos, perfect for on-site verification or progress tracking.

​
Read-Only Auto-Generated Fields

For every single Object created, the system automatically generates and maintains a set of read-only metadata fields. While users cannot edit these fields, they are invaluable for sorting, filtering, reporting, and building powerful automations.
Field NameData TypeDescription
Object keyTextA unique, system-wide identifier for the Object (e.g., CRM-1234).
creatorUserThe user who originally created the Object.
createdTimestampThe exact date and time the Object was created.
updatedTimestampThe exact date and time any field on the Object was last modified.
statuschangedTimestampThe exact date and time the Object’s status was last changed.
discussedTimestampThe exact date and time the last message was sent in the Object’s chat.
interactedTimestampThe most recent timestamp from updated, statuschanged, or discussed.
