Adding Custom Fields to Your Libraries

Are the standard fields within your libraries not quite cutting it? Adding custom fields allows you to capture extra information tailored to your event.

🔹 Step 1: Access Your Library

1. Log in to the correct back office.

2. Go to Libraries > Manage.

3. Find the library you want to amend and click Edit from the dropdown options on the right-hand side.

🔹 Step 2: Create a Custom Field

1. At the top, click Create Custom Field.

2. Choose the Field Type – options include text, dropdown, checkbox, etc.

3. Add a Label – this will appear on the front end, so make it descriptive and logical.

4. Set whether the field is mandatory or optional (optional is recommended).

5. Add a maximum length in characters if needed.

6. Add help text to appear below the field in the CMS.

7. Click Save.

You can now reorder your custom field among the other default fields to suit your needs.

🔹 Step 3: Use Your New Field

1. Go to Libraries > [Your Library Name].

2. Open any library entry (or create a new one).

3. Your custom field is now ready to use!

You can add data manually, import in bulk via CSV, or allow exhibitors to fill it in if connected to your E-Zone.
