When a new record is added to an application, the record page asks for the user to submit information to various standard and custom fields. While the standard fields are pre-defined by the system’s default settings, the custom fields can be created and managed by the Global Administrator. Each unique application will require unique custom fields depending on what is being tracked and what actions are required.

The body area of the Records page contains all your custom fields.
To set up custom fields for all the records in your application, navigate to Configuration Settings > (Level 1) tab > General Settings section > Custom Fields. Configuration settings for each application is located in the gear icon in the action bar.
To set up custom fields for organizations, navigate to Global Settings > Organizations tab > General Settings section > Custom Fields.
To set up custom fields for users, navigate to Global Settings > Users tab > General Settings section > Custom Fields.
Main Article: Custom Fields – General Information
[image goes here]
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 for full list of available field types to choose from, including dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes, date pickers, and more.
<br />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.
In the Permissions & Availability tab, you can further customize who can access the custom field and when. This allows you to tailor access to the custom field to a certain user role, a type category, or when a certain status change has been triggered.

Main Article: Submit & Save Buttons
Submit & Save buttons are used to perform custom actions upon each record such as saving a record, changing the status, validate input, or add annotations. Like custom fields, submit and save buttons can also be customized to be active only for certain roles, statuses, or record categories. To access the settings of any individual custom field, navigate to the following:
UTA - Configuration Settings > (Level 1) tab > General Settings section > Submit & Save Buttons
Main Articles: Custom Field Type: Layout - Title Bar, Custom Field Type: Layout - Tabbed Section
Title Bars and Tabbed Sections help organize your records page by grouping together similar custom fields. A title bar separates related content on the same records page. A tabbed section moves blocks of related content onto a separate tab. The placement of custom fields can be controlled through the Display Order.
