# Custom Fields ### Overview Custom Fields are used to save or obtain additional information about your customers using different Field Types. You can access that information using the Contacts module or while interacting with them using Chat. To open the Custom Fields option window, go to Contacts → Custom Fields from your Dashboard.

Or you can select Settings, then choose the Custom Fields tab.

In both cases, you'll be able to access the Custom Fields options. ### Create a Custom Field To create a Custom Field, you need to click the Create Custom Field button.

This will bring the Create Custom Field modal, where you get the following options:

* **Field Name** - Define the name of your custom field. * **Field Type** - Select a custom field type from 6 different types that are, * Text(Single Line) * Text(Multi Line) * Email * Number * Date * Date Time * **Priority** - To assign importance level to regard the field as more important than other custom fields. Numeric 1 is regarded as the top priority. * **Search Allowed** - To search contacts based on Custom Field. * **Show On Contacts Grid** - To showcase custom field details in the contacts module.

* **Is Required** - When creating the contact, adding value(s) to this field is necessary. Now, to create the custom field, first, input the Field Name, then select a Field Type.

After selecting the field type, define Priority and check the tick box next to Search Allowed, Show On Contacts Grid, and Is Required if you want to apply those conditions on the field.

Once utilised all the options, click **Save** to create the Custom Field. ### Edit a Custom Field You'll find created custom fields in the Custom Fields window, Contacts → Custom Fields, like the following.
