🔍 What is it?
Custom fields allow you to extend the standard employee profile with any attributes specific to your company — such as internal classification, project assignment, certifications, or other HR metadata.
🧭 Where to find your own field
You can manage custom fields in Settings → Custom fields . Once created, the fields are displayed on the employee's detail in the appropriate section.
➕ Create a custom field
Go to Settings → Custom Fields
Click "+" to add a new field
Enter the field name and select the type (text, number, date, list selection, yes/no)
Save the field — it will appear on the employee detail
🏷️ Field categorization
Custom fields can be organized into categories. Each field can be assigned a named category, which makes it easier to navigate when you have a large number of fields. Categories are set when you create or edit a field.
🔒 Permissions
The visibility and editability of custom fields can be controlled by role permissions. The administrator sets which roles can view or edit fields in Settings → Users and Roles .
💡 Usage examples
Internal employee classification (e.g. "key employee", "talent")
Assignment to a project or cost center
Tracking certifications or special qualifications
Any organization-specific HR metadata
