# Fields

> Nextedy PLANNINGBOARD surfaces data from three categories of Polarion objects — work items, Plans, and resources — onto the board.

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="Work Item Fields" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/fields/work-item-fields">
    Fields read from Polarion work items: identifiers, types, assignees, effort estimates, priorities, statuses, and custom fields that drive card appearance and capacity.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Plan Fields" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/fields/plan-fields">
    Fields read from Polarion Plans that control which Plans appear as columns, their display names, date ranges, and capacity limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Resource Fields" icon="file" href="/planningboard/reference/fields/resource-fields">
    Fields that represent people and team resources used for swimlane assignment and capacity normalization across the board.
  </Card>
</Columns>

<Tip title="Field IDs are case-sensitive">
  When referencing field IDs in widget parameters (for example in `sidebarFields`, `enumFieldId`, or `capacityField`), use the exact casing shown in Polarion's field definitions. Wrong casing fails silently at runtime.
</Tip>
