THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTIONThe '''Custom Field IDs''' section of the '''Edit [[Custom Fields|Custom Field]] ''' page can be used to speed up reduce variable processing time for fields such as [[Web Page View]] and [[MS Word Merge]] .<br>This is appropriate for instances that have a very large numbers number (in the hundreds or thousands) of [[Custom Fields]].

[[Image:CustomFieldIDs.PNG]]

When creating or editing *'''Custom Field IDs''' allows you to specify the [[Custom Field ID|field IDs]] of the custom fields that are being referenced from within the field (for example, on a [[Web Page View]]). Instead of the [[SmartSimple]] system processing all possible variables, it will simply process the variables specified.<br>*You should use the ''Extract IDs'' link to auto-populate the field with the [[Custom FieldID|appropriate IDs]] .*Clicking on the ''Display Field Names'' will show you the Custom Field names associated with the IDs listed.

 '''Important'''Note: This should only be used if all the variables within the Custom Field are found at the same level as the Custom Field. :''' this For example, if the Web Page View field is not present at Level 2 you should only populate the Custom Field IDs section if all the variables listed on the Web Page View are found at Level 2. They can be anywhere at level 2 (on all serversTypes, within Dynamic Control Fields, etc).''If you need to refer to custom fields on other levels or on [[contact]]s, [[organization]]s, etc., then you should leave the '''Custom Field IDs''' section blank. ==See Also==* [[Custom Field ID|Determining the Custom Field ID]]* [[Custom Field Type: Display Only – Web Page View]]* [[Custom Field Type: Special - MS Word Merge]]  [[Category:Custom Fields]][[Category:Variables]]
