Custom Fields

Custom fields allow a user to create labels and capture values and can be text, drop-down, check-box or radio-button field types.

Note: Custom fields are only for firm use, these fields will not map to a profile or to a field within a form.

Please also note that custom fields for the case level are only available in Enterprise Edition.

Field Type - Defines the type of field (text, drop-down, radio, etc).

Keyword Label - Name for the field's keyword (once created in the Knowledge Base).

Maximum Data Length - If a text field is chosen, this is the limit on how many characters can be entered. If a check-box is chosen, this is how many different check-mark options will be available.

Field For - Specifies which levels (corporation, client, case) this field should appear in.

Field Class -

Default Custom Field - This option allows for this custom field to be used within any level of the application. (MOST COMMON)
Petition Type Custom Field - This option restricts the custom field to only be used within a petition.
Specific Custom Field - This option restricts the custom field to only be used within the corporation level.

Mandatory - Whether this a required field or not.
