What are Custom Fields and how can they be used?

Custom fields are a means for storing and representing data that is permanent and unique to each contact.

SeekLMS does not limit the number of custom fields you can create. However, a limited type of custom fields can be created, which are shown below:

                                             

1. Text: This is your traditional text input field. It is the primary means for storing data, which matches well with the fundamental purpose of custom fields
   
2. Checkbox: You can use this custom field type to tell you multiple things about a contact. By presenting contacts with a checkbox field, they can tell you that exact information.
   
3. Drop-down: This is your standard drop-down menu. As a rule of thumb, use the “Drop-down menu” field if you have ten or more options for contacts to choose from.
   
4. Date: This field allows you to capture a date (YYYY/DD/MM format).
