How to configure custom fields
Under this tab, you can create your custom fields for a personalized Work place experience.
Inside the Admin panel go to Dynamics -> Custom fields
Expand the menu by clicking the expand arrow in the navigation 
or click directly on the Dynamics button to reveal all options.
The custom fields functionality allows you to create your fields within the application. Custom fields find their useful purpose inside custom forms.
Custom fields are an element inside a custom form and are displayed throughout the system for informational purposes.
Therefore it’s smart to first create the required custom fields and then create custom forms afterwards.
Custom fields are always stored inside the same type. You decide the object type already while creating the custom field. The corresponding type can be found inside the Forms creator. If you create a field with the type device, the created custom field device will be displayed under the device.
The unique name of a custom field = database name
The label of a custom field = name the user decided for, not relevant for the database
The following requirements are to be considered when picking a name for a custom field:
- Special characters are not allowed
- Field names cannot contain spaces between words
- Field names cannot contain the null character
- The maximal character length is 120
Yes, they can and will!
