Custom Fields

info

Custom fields are not enabled for every project by default. Get in touch if you'd like to use them.

Every project tracks a few things TourLife doesn't have a field for out of the box: a PO number, a Production manager pick-up time, the Merch booth location... Custom fields add your own fields to every event in your project.

Creating a custom field

1. Go to Admin → Custom Fields.

2. Click Add a Custom Field.

3. Enter a name and, optionally, a description that explains what to fill in.

4. Pick a type:

   Type	Use it for
   Text	Any free text
   Number	Amounts, capacities, ...
   Date	Deadlines and other dates
   Address	Locations

5. Click Add.

Filling in custom fields

Once created, custom fields show up when you edit an event. Users with the Can edit events permission can fill them in.

If you want someone to fill in custom fields without being able to change the rest of the event, we can enable the separate Can edit custom fields permission for your project. See User Permissions.

Editing and deleting custom fields

The Custom Fields page lists all custom fields in your project with their type and description. Use the edit button to change a field, or the delete button to remove it.

caution

Deleting a custom field can't be undone.
