Custom fields let you capture the data your firm cares about against every client — tax references, regulatory IDs, internal classifications, country-specific identifiers, anything not in the built-in fields.
- Click the gear icon in the top navigation and choose Client Fields (or open the corresponding page from Settings).
- Pick the client type to configure — Individuals or Business Entity — using the tabs at the top.
- Build the structure:
- Click Add Section to create a heading (e.g. "Tax Information", "Bank Details").
- Within a section, click Add Field and choose the type:
- Text / Multi-line text — free-form answers.
- Email / URL / Number — validated entries.
- Yes/No — boolean toggle.
- Dropdown / Multi-select dropdown — fixed options (link to a shared Dropdown Field for re-use across clients).
- Date / Date and time.
- File — document upload (with optional expiry tracking).
- Member — pick a team member.
- Configure each field:
- Name — the label shown on the client.
- Required — enforces a value on save.
- Filterable — adds it to the clients list filter modal.
- Searchable — included in the clients search.
- Private — visible only to specified members (useful for sensitive data).
- Drag fields by the handle to reorder, or drop them into a different section.
For KYC-specific custom fields (e.g. PEP status, source of funds), choose KYC Settings from the gear icon instead — the structure is the same but applies only inside the KYC workflow.
Tip: Build dropdown options as shared Dropdown Fields (Settings > Dropdown Fields). One change updates every client field that uses them.
Note: Field Groups let you capture repeating rows of related data — e.g. multiple bank accounts, each with its own set of sub-fields. Use Add Field Group instead of Add Field for those.
