Custom fields are user-defined fields of different types. You can associate custom fields with different types of people, creating fields that VSys One does not have. Custom fields defined within a project are only available within that project. Those defined globally are available everywhere, including within all projects. For custom fields which will likely vary in value from one project to another, define the custom field within each project. You can print custom fields on many reports and include them in mail merges and exports, as well as filter people by custom field values.
How to Use
Define custom fields globally from the Setup panel by clicking on Custom fields. For project-specific custom fields, right-click on the project's name from the Projects panel and select Setup (custom fields).
Click on a custom field's name to edit its properties, or on the Add new field link to create a new custom field.
