How add/change the text that appears below the name of the 1P item

I'm probably searching for the wrong terms, but for example if I have rewards programs (or an airline) for myself and my wife, I am wondering how to change the small text that appears below the name, like it might show as:

AVIS
AVIS (in smaller text) - I see this is the 'Company name' listed for the rewards program, but I would rather it show as 'John Smith' and then for my wife's entry it shows as 'Jane Smith'.

This would allow me to see much more rapidly the right account, without changing the name of the item to
AVIS - John
AVIS - Jane
which would work, but text will start to get cropped off on longer names.

Is that possible to somehow select/create that smaller text? Thank you -

  • Hello @1pforme! 👋

    Thank you for the question! Are you storing your Avis information in a Reward Program item and is this how you see the different labels that you're referring to:

    If the answer is yes then you can change the little "Avis" label by editing the Reward Program item and then changing the "Company Name" field. It's from this first field of the item that the "small text" is taken from.

    Let me know if that doesn't help or if I misunderstood.

    Thanks @Dave_1P
    I thought that might be the field, and I deleted it :-O
    So 2 questions:
    1. I tried to change 'member name' to 'Company name', but it doesn't seem to have added the small text back. And I don't see an option to add 'Company name' back as a field.
    2. For other categories, I often see blanks (say Software Licenses), but it would be useful to be able to have my wife's name on those too in order to be able to tell if her license v mine. In that case does 1P always look for a 'Company name' field?
    Thanks again Dave and keep up the good work with this service.

    Thank you for the reply. I'll reply to both of your points below:

    1. I tried to change 'member name' to 'Company name', but it doesn't seem to have added the small text back. And I don't see an option to add 'Company name' back as a field.

    I'm seeing the same behaviour as well. It looks like if you remove the default "company name" field 1Password no longer updates the hidden metadata that dictates the item detail or "small text" for that item in the item list even if you recreate the "company name" field.

    I've filed an internal issue for our developers to look into this further. In the meantime, as a workaround, you'll need to create a new Reward Program item and copy and paste your information into the new item before deleting the old item in order to see items details in the item list. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    1. For other categories, I often see blanks (say Software Licenses), but it would be useful to be able to have my wife's name on those too in order to be able to tell if her license v mine. In that case does 1P always look for a 'Company name' field?

    Software License items derive their item detail from the "version" field.

    That being said, it sounds like you're trying to make it easy to be able to differentiate items that belong to your wife from items that belong to you. The item detail field isn't meant to be used for this purpose and you're going to run into friction if you try to use it this way.

    I would recommend that both you and your wife have your own 1Password account where you store the items that belong to each of you separately. If you do need to share items with each other then you can create a shared vault. For example, a shared vault that contains your wife's items could be labeled "My wife's items". You can read more about creating and sharing vaults here: Create and share vaults

    Once you've placed your and your wife's items into separate vaults, you can use collections to organize the vaults and only view the items that you need at a particular time: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults
