Adding custom fields to the companies’ card expands the system's functionality for storing important information and monitoring employee performance.

You can tailor the companies section to match your business needs, as well as store specific data for integration with external systems via API, etc.

 

How to Add a Custom Field

Go to Settings → Advanced → Custom Fields tab, click Add Field, and fill out the following:

  • Title – this is what you’ll see in the order;
  • Type – pick from the list:
    Text – for short notes;
    Select – choose from options;
    Textarea – for more detailed info;
    Link – for URLs;
    Integer– integers only;
    Float – supports fractions;
    Date – set date;
    Datetime – set date and exact time;
    Toggle – a Yes/No switch (defaults to No).
  • Entity – select Companies;
  • Required – turn on if this field must be filled in at certain statuses. Then, check the statuses where this rule applies.

    Important! Once the field is created, you won’t be able to change its type or entity. Make sure to set it right the first time.

    Creating Fields with Dropdown Options

    If you select the List type, you can also enable the Multi-select toggle to allow choosing multiple values within the field.

     

    Then, go to the Options tab and add all the values that should be available in this dropdown list.

    There’s no limit to the number of values — add as many as you need.

    When everything is set, click Save. The new field will appear in the list and become available in company’s profiles.

    Managing Custom Fields

    In the list of fields, you can:

    1. Reorder fields – just drag and drop to change their position. This updates their order not only on this list but on the entity as well;

    2. Filter by entity – quickly see fields related to orders or other entity;

    3. Edit a field – click the pencil icon under Actions to change the field’s name, required status, or list options;

    4. Delete a field – click the trash icon to remove it completely.

    Important! Deleting a field will erase all saved data in these fields. This cannot be undone, and the data will be deleted permanently

    Where Custom Fields Appear

    All created fields show up in the Extra Fields section of the company’s profile.

    You can fill them out when creating or editing a company.
    They’re also available in Company’s filters (except for Link type fields), document templates, our API.
