Custom Fields Uses

Custom Fields allow you to create and customize fields that we don't have by default* for you to choose from. Many groups and institutions leverage custom fields for assessment purposes. The best examples are questions or very specific fields or attributes you hope to collect on your users, impacts or surveys before or after an experience. 

User Records:

Custom Field Database:

This will help in terms of doing data analysis of the responses. You can navigate to oversee this by going to your group dashboard and selecting "Resources" -> "Custom Fields". 

When the fields you want are created or found, you may stitch them into area you want the fields to be requested:

Note: When dragging and dropping a field into the canvas, a "new custom field" is created. In order to view "saved" or "existing" fields, go to "Add Existing Saved Fields", a library of all custom fields created in the system. In the case you need to delete or update the fields from this library, navigate to your "Resources" -> "Custom Fields" section and determine what fields to archive, update or review.
