Custom Fields Reference

Every option on the custom field create and update screens, and the capacity limits for each object. For what custom fields are and when to use them, see Custom Fields Overview.

Navigate to Admin > Custom Fields. Here, you can update or create custom fields.

Create a custom field

To create a custom field, open the corresponding tab and then click the plus (+) icon at the top right corner of the page.

Update a custom field

To edit an existing custom field, click the menu icon next to the field and click Edit.

Be aware of the following when updating an existing custom field:

• Object Type - Cannot be changed once a field has been created.
• Field Type - Cannot be changed once a field has been created.
• Display Name - Changing this updates the label of this field as soon as it is saved.
• Default Value - Adding or changing an existing default value only takes effect on newly created records.
• Required - If enabled, all future creates and edits must supply a value for this field. Existing records with NULL values remain unchanged until they are manually updated.

Important: You cannot clear Add Custom Fields to the Advanced Subscription Momentum Report while an Advanced Subscription Momentum report still uses that field as its momentum calculation basis. Maxio blocks the change and lists the reports involved, so update those reports to use a different basis first.

Custom field capacity in Maxio Core

Each object type in Maxio Core has a maximum number of custom fields. These limits exist because custom fields are stored in a fixed set of database columns. Once those columns are used, you cannot add more custom fields.

Maximum custom fields by object

The counts below are the fields available for your own use, after any columns reserved for built-in values.
