This feature allows you to create a Custom Field on a Stakeholder Profile, Interaction, or Property. Custom Field's are perfect for storing any additional information you may need, and this feature allows for several format options.
Why would you use Custom Fields?
Custom Fields are perfect for tracking additional information you need to store on Stakeholders, Interactions or Properties. They are meant to help you understand your stakeholders and status of relationship with them better.
A Custom Field can contain any piece of information you may wish - it allows you to add a field for input. Simply Stakeholders allows for four Custom Field options - Open Text, Dropdown List, Checkbox or Checkbox with Text.
For example, you may wish to add a First Point of contact field on a Stakeholder profile, or add Access Conditions to a Property. Custom Fields give you the ability to do this.
