  3. Click New Custom Field and fill in the required details. 
    • Field Name: Add the relevant title.
    • Data Type: This can be either Text, Number or Date depending on what you want the system to validate. 
    • Is a Fixed List? Tick this if you want a dropdown with fixed values. If you do not tick this box, then, the data can be any text, number, or date, depending on the Data Type chosen. 
  4. Click Add, followed by Save. You can add more Custom fields now or later.

Adding Custom Fields to the listing grids
