Create a Custom Field

You can add custom fields to the client details, patient details, and consultation pages for any purposes you want. For example, client details could include custom fields for preferred language or preferred doctors, patient details could include custom fields for allergies, diet, or rabies tag serial number, and consultations could include custom fields for check-out date or client information confirmed at check-in. Custom fields can be optional or required.

  1. Go to Settings > Lists & Templates > Custom fields.
  2. Select Add.
  3. Add a Name for the custom field.
  4. From the Field type drop-down list, select what type of field you want to create. 
    • Text: Users can type free-form text in this field.
    • Integer: Users can add an integer number in this field.
    • Date: Users can pick a date from a calendar.
    • Checkbox: Users can select a checkbox option.
