Create a Custom Field
Service Admins have the capability to add/edit custom fields pertinent to the district's processes.
"Custom Fields" are customizable fields to track and group relative types of data. Admins may decide "Field Name," "Field Type," "Field Requirements," and "Description" to display to those viewing a ticket with a custom field applied.
The "Field Type" field allows admins to specify the types of data allowed in the field when entering a ticket. "Field Types" include "Integer," "Decimal," "Text," "Checkbox," "Date," and "Drop-down" menu.
