[CLZ News] Custom Fields for CLZ Web / CLZ Books app: Track your Reading History
Hi all, this is Alwin from CLZ, with the Feb ’26 edition of the CLZ Newsletter. And it’s an important one, because this month we launched the biggest new feature since a long time, maybe the biggest in CLZ history:
Create your own Custom Fields in the CLZ Web web-based software!
Yep, it is finally here, we finished the project that we procrastinated on for many many years, not only because of the size and the amount of work, but mainly because of its sheer complexity.
But after many brainstorm sessions with the entire tech team (web and mobile), we came up with a technical solution that works. Then began months of development work for the web team. And then weeks of testing. And now, the Custom Fields are live for all 5 flavors of the CLZ Web web-based software. Check out the full details below (with screenshot links!).
And yet, that is not the only release this month. We were also able to finally release the announced update for the CLZ Books mobile app, with the Reading History capabilities.
Next to that, a cool cosmetic update for CLZ Comics Web, especially for the slab collectors: the nice slab frames are now visible in ALL views. Again, don’t miss the screenshot link below.
Last but not least, a look “behind the scenes”, in the What’s Cooking section. What are we working on? What can you expect to appear in the next 1 or 2 months? More cool stuff coming up 🙂
A special update for the slab collectors!
Three years ago, we introduced a new look for slabbed comics, with generated “slab frames” around the cover images, with blue/yellow/green labels at the top the grade at the top left, even showing actual Custom Labels. Making it super easy to spots your slabs between your raw comics.
For several reasons, that feature was only implemented in the Vertical Card View and on the comic details pages. Not in Horizontal Cards View (we figured it would be too small) and in Cover View and Shelves View (technically complex because of the configurable size).
However, our Web developer Michiel gave it another try and did make it work this time.
So that’s what’s new in today’s update:
The generated slab frames are now visible in Horizontal Cards, Covers and Shelves View too!
Such a good week for comics! With DC taking the crown of most releases this week compared to Marvel. We saw Absolute Wonder Woman #17 in our Most Wanted on Monday. But it looks like Detective Comics #1106 beat that today! Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Are you ready for a new Punisher #1? I sure am always in the mood for it.The Punisher #1. Written by Benjamin Percy and art by José Luis Soares Pinto, Oren Junior and Frank D’Armata. It sees the return of Jigsaw and Frank Castle hunting for answers after his memory is damaged once again. Definitely getting the Alex Maleev Variant!
Boom! Another new volume of anything and everything Massive-Verse. Across the Massive-Verse TP Vol. 2. This time it features Radiant Red, Radiant Pink, No/One and Cowl. I’d say a perfect entry point for new readers!
New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1. From what we’ve seen and has been teased so far, this is going to be a solid read! It’s about a murder that leads to an all out war between the heroes of Dakota City and the US government. Surely that won’t be troubling? Static & Rocket and likely other Milestone character will hopefully safe the day here!
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab in your add comics screen. All new releases have been carefully cleaned up, with lots of info added! Be sure to check them out in the app when you hit your comic shop or when you’re back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!
Today, another huge update for your CLZ Books mobile app, version 10.6. The update brings several new features and data fields that have been requested by our customers through the years:
- Track your Reading History, with multiple read sessions, each having Start and End Dates, Reading Status, Reading Progress and Reader fields.
- New dimension fields: Spine Thickness and Weight, delivered automatically from Core!
- Next to Book Condition, a new field for the Dust Cover Condition
- Place of Publication, plus Original Place of Publication
These top-10s are created by you all, the users of the CLZ app and software, as they’re based on how often these comics already appear on your wish lists in the CLZ Cloud, even before release!
This is it, THE main feature release for 2026. A huge step forward in the customizability of the software. And I am not talking about tweaking the look and feel here, like layout, colors, fonts, etc… No… this time we are giving you the ability to actually customize the database itself!
Yep, today is the launch of the “Custom Fields” feature (previously known as “User Defined Fields”).
The Custom Fields feature will let you create your own data fields, to catalog any information for which the software does not have a built-in field. You can create text fields, number fields, date fields, Yes/No toggles, pick list fields and much more.
All fields you create can be edited on a special Custom Fields tab of the Edit screen and their data will nicely appear in a special section in the comic details panel in the main screen. And of course, you will be able to use the fields like any built-in fields, use them as columns, sort on them, use pick list fields as folders, add the fields to printed list, exports, etc..
