Custom User Fields

Schools can create:

• a max of 10 custom text fields (which are publishable)

• and an unlimited number of "Admin View" custom fields (which can be different data types).

Go to:

1. Select Core.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select General settings.

4. Select Custom fields.

5. Select the table name to view the current values.

Warning: Do not use custom fields to track highly sensitive information. To track medical data, Blackbaud recommends you use Medical instead. It's protected by additional security and encryption. For details, refer to Medical.

Security Permissions

Typically, platform managers create custom fields. However, a platform manager can also enable members of a security role to view and manage custom fields (including "admin view only").

See roles and tasks for security access (task ID 53441).

For example, you might enable users who also manage buildings and rooms to view these fields when they export buildings and rooms.
