Creating Custom Fields

Custom fields

Custom fields let you store information specific to your organization — chapter, license number, dietary needs, t-shirt size, and so on. Manage them under Settings → Custom Fields.

Field types

• Text — single line of free text.
• Number — numeric values.
• Date — a calendar date.
• Dropdown — choose one option from a list you define.
• Checkbox — yes/no.

Using custom fields

Custom fields appear on the member record and can be added as columns on the Members list, used in filters, included in exports, and referenced as merge fields in broadcasts. You can also add a custom field to your public signup form so members fill it in when they join.

Deleting a custom field removes its data from every record, so export first if you might need it later.
