Custom fields
Add your own fields to student, teacher, and guardian records.
Custom fields let your school collect information the platform does not ask for by default. A custom field you define appears on the record's form — for students, teachers, or guardians — so everyone captures the same extra details.
Who this is for
Administrators tailoring what information the school records about people.
Add a custom field
Open the Custom Fields settings
Go to Settings → School and open the Custom Fields tab, then choose Add custom field.
Define the field
Complete the options below, then save.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Profile | Which record the field appears on — student, teacher, or guardian. |
| Field type | The kind of input — text, text area, number, date, email, phone, URL, checkbox, toggle, radio, or select. |
| Label | The field's name, shown on the form. |
| Placeholder | Optional hint text shown inside the input. |
| Options | For radio and select fields, the list of choices to pick from. |
| Required | When on, the field must be filled before the record can be saved. |

Where custom fields appear
A field defined for students shows in the student form; one for teachers shows in the teacher form, and so on. Existing records simply gain the new field.
