# Interfaces <small></small>
|
|
|
|
> Interfaces determine how you view or interact with a field. In most cases, they offer some sort of input tailored to managing data of a specific type, but can also be used exclusively for presentation.
|
|
|
|
Interfaces provide different ways to view or interact with field data on the [Item Detail](/concepts/application/#item-detail) page's form. Every interface supports a specific subset of field [types](/concepts/types/) (eg: String), which determines how the data will be stored. For example, the _Text Input_ interface can manage most types of data, but might not be ideal for dates, where a _Calendar_ interface excels.

## Custom Interface Extensions
|
|
|
|
In addition to these core interfaces, custom interfaces allow for creating more tailored or proprietary ways to view or
|
|
manage field data, such as bespoke layout builders, skeuomorphic knobs, or relational views for third-party data (eg:
|
|
Stripe Credit Card UI).
