How to Create Custom Fields in Staff Profiles

Custom fields allow you to capture additional staff information specific to your business—such as uniform sizes, emergency contacts, payroll references, licences, or any other details not included by default.

Once created, these fields will appear in the staff profile and can also be included in your Staff Export Report.


How to Create a Custom Field

  1. Navigate to Registers → Staff

  2. Open the staff member you want to update, or create a new staff profile

  3. Go to the Basic Information tab

  4. Scroll to the Add Section

  5. Click Add Section


Configure Your Custom Field

When creating a custom field, you can:

  • Enter a Field Name (e.g. Shirt Size, Payroll ID, Emergency Contact)

  • Select the Field Type (depending on your setup)

  • Choose whether the field is:

    • Mandatory – staff must complete this field

    • Optional – staff can complete it if needed

Once complete, click Update.


What Happens Next?

After saving:

  • The custom field will appear in the staff member’s Basic Information section

  • Staff will see the field when completing or updating their profile

  • Any data entered into these custom fields will automatically be included in the Staff Export Report


Exporting Custom Field Data

To export your custom field information:

  1. Navigate to Registers → Export

  2. Click Export

Your custom field columns will appear in the exported report alongside your standard staff data.


Tips

  • Use mandatory fields for information you always need collected

  • Use clear field names so staff know exactly what information is required

  • Custom fields are a great way to standardise business-specific staff information across your organisation
