Introduction

Custom fields are user-defined data fields that allow you to store and organize additional information tailored to your specific needs. They can be used to capture various types of data about patients, orders, and other entities.


Key Features

Custom Field Properties
Custom fields can have defined properties to store unique data specific to your business, ensuring consistency and data integrity. The available property types include:

  • Free Text

  • Date

  • Checkbox

  • Number

  • Dropdown Selections

Pin Custom Fields
Pinning a custom field ensures it is always visible when navigating through a patient or order record. Unlike regular custom fields, pinned fields remain in place and are visible, regardless of whether they have a value or not.
