**Overview**

Topic fields define how topic information is structured and displayed across the system.

Admins can:

- View all fields in a centralized table
- Identify system vs custom fields
- Configure behavior and usage
- Add new custom fields
- Control how topic names appear in agenda outputs

---

**Topic Name & Display Name on Agenda – Behavior**

The system includes two related fields: 

| Field | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| **Topic Name** | Primary system-defined name of the topic |
| **Display Name on Agenda** | Optional override used for agenda presentation |

 

 

---

Display Logic

The system follows a controlled logic to determine what is shown in agendas and exports:

1. **If Display Name on Agenda is populated**  
   → That value is shown in the agenda UI
2. **If Display Name on Agenda is empty**  
   → The system defaults to **Topic Name**
3. **For Agenda Exports (Download, Email, Link, Review)**  
   → The exported output always reflects the **Topic Name as shown in the agenda**

---

Key Scenarios

 

 

 

| Scenario | Input | Output in Agenda | Output in Export |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Display Name provided | Topic Name = “AI Strategy” Display Name = “AI Strategy – Executive Session” | “AI Strategy – Executive Session” | “AI Strategy – Executive Session” |
| Display Name empty | Topic Name = “AI Strategy” | “AI Strategy” | “AI Strategy” |
| Display Name updated | Display Name changed after creation | Updated value reflected immediately | Updated value reflected |
| Export triggered | Agenda contains topics | Display logic applied | Export matches agenda display |

  

---

Important Behavior

- Topic Name remains the **source-of-truth field**
- Display Name on Agenda acts as a **presentation layer override**
- Exported agendas **respect the final display logic applied in Agenda**
- No separate or conflicting naming is introduced in exports

---

Topic Fields – Structure 

 

| Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Field Name | Name displayed to users |
| Field Type | System or Custom |
| Field Data Type | Text, Long Text, Numeric, Choice, Multiple Choice, Number |

System fields are clearly labeled and cannot be deleted or structurally modified.

FAQs

**What is the difference between Topic Name and Display Name on Agenda?**  
Topic Name is the core system value. Display Name is an optional override used only for presentation in agenda views.

**Which topic name appears in exports?**  
Exports reflect the name shown in the agenda after applying display logic.

**What happens if Display Name is empty?**  
The system automatically uses Topic Name.

**Can I remove Topic Name?**  
No, it is a required system field.

**Can I rename these fields?**  
Yes, labels can be updated, but functionality remains unchanged.

**Can I delete the custom fields that are being used in reports or email parameters?**  
No, the fields that are being used elsewhere cannot be deleted. The delete button is disabled for those fields. The admin when hovers over the delete link, can see at how many places it is being used.

**Can I search through the filtered results?**  
Yes, once the filtered is applied, additional search can be performed through search input box to get the desired results.
