For a simple application, when creating a new custom field, you can select from a predefined list of field types depending on the end use. For example, a record containing a simple field for “About” can have the field type '''Text Box - Multiple Lines'''. A field for “Shipping Address” could have the type '''Special - Geo Mapping'''. See [[:Category:Custom Field Types|Category: Custom Field Types]] for full list of available field types to choose from, including dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, date pickers, and more. 

Once you select the appropriate field type, you can also give the custom field a name in the database ('''Field Name''') and a display name that will be visible to users ('''Caption'''). The '''Display Order''' determines where in the form this custom field appears. The higher the number, the closer to the top of the form the field appears. A '''Description''' is not mandatory and will only be visible to '''Global Administrators''', however filling out a simple description for each custom field will make it easier to track changes and remember what each field is for.

Like custom fields, submit and save buttons can also be customized to be active only for certain roles, statuses, or record categories.
