# Custom fields

**Only administrators can manage the network settings.**

These settings concern all users in the company and therefore apply to the entire network.

# Types of custom fields proposed

The cases of use are numerous thanks to the 6 types of predefined fields :

1.  **Short text** : addition of a field to enter short text
    
2.  **Number** : addition of a field for entering a number
    
3.  **Date** : added a field to choose a date using a calendar
    
4.  **Multiple choice** : addition of a field offering multiple choices to be defined
    
5.  **Drop-down list** : addition of a field with a drop-down list with several options to be defined
    
6.  **File** : addition of a field to integrate a specific file

# Add a custom field

To configure the network custom fields :

1.  From your profile, go to **Settings**
    
2.  Under _Network Settings_, click **Custom Fields**
    
3.  Click on **Add a custom field**
    
4.  A window opens, choose the **type of field** you want (see previous section).
    
5.  A window opens, define the field label by choosing an icon and a name. The icon will be used to represent the field in the task details panel.
    
6.  Define if the custom field is global, two options here: a custom field can be activated on all tasks in the network or only on one or more workspaces.
    
7.  In this example, the **Drop-down list** type has been chosen, so you need to define the options in this list by entering them in the field provided. It is possible to **Sort** the options not in alphabetical order or to choose their order manually using the tool to the left of the option.
    
8.  If necessary, choose a colour to distinguish between the different options.
    
9.  Click **Save**

# Task sharing and custom fields

If you share a task in a workspace, the custom fields enabled in the workspace will automatically be displayed in the task details panel. If you take a task out of a workspace, the custom fields are simply hidden. This system leaves the flexibility of task sharing intact while ensuring no loss of data.
