How to Add Client Custom Fields
Collect and save structured data
Video tutorial
In this video tutorial we cover:
- How to create client custom fields.
- What the different settings on client custom fields mean.
- How to segment clients by custom fields.
Custom field placement
Add custom fields to the Create account window or checkout basket to collect and store additional structured data against customer records. You can collect a wide range of data types, including:
- client information (e.g. age, date of birth, favourite band)
- answers to questions (e.g. How did you find us?)
- verification information (e.g. support pin numbers)
Custom fields are especially powerful because you can use them to search and categorise clients. Clients can optionally view and edit their custom field information through their self-service client area. You can also choose to display custom field information on the invoices that you send clients.
- If you want to create unstructured notes against a client, you can use Upmind's client notes.
