The Custom Field functionality allows you to add various types of fully customizable fields in several areas of the Home Portal.

Click on the Image 1929 Configuration Menu > General Configuration > Custom Fields and Columns.

The standard fields available in different areas of the Home Portal serve to improve your project and data management. However, sometimes you might need additional fields to store some non-standard information. 

The following types of Custom Fields can be added in various areas of the Home Portal:
