=Overview=

A '''Custom Field '''is the basic unit of data storage, created on an as-needed basis for your system, and is associated with a [[SmartSimple]] [[entity]] such as a [[User|contact]], [[Organization|organization]], [[User Role|role]], or activity. These fields can be accessed and controlled from either the '''[[Global Settings]] ''' area of your system, or on the Entity-based '''Settings '''page from within a {{UTA}}.

'''Custom Fields '''are used in addition to [[Standard Fields]], which are automatically built into your system (for example, '''Name '''or '''Address '''are typical Standard Fields). While '''Custom Fields '''can be added, removed, and customized, as a general rule Standard Fields cannot be changed, although they might be renamed or modified.

* All fields display data in configurable ways: for example, they can be grouped into tabs or displayed in multiple columns to avoid cluttering the page

* The maximum number of custom fields that can be displayed on a single page is 400 total - ~~although any~~ however, any number of custom fields can be created for any object

* New custom fields can be added at any time without compromising existing and current information

* You use [[User Role|roles]] to control who can see and update specific fields
