description: Step-by-step guide to adding custom fields to any object.
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
Custom fields let you capture information specific to your business. Add them to any object—standard or custom.
|
||
|
||
## Steps
|
||
|
||
1. Go to **Settings → Data Model**
|
||
2. Select the object you want to add a field to
|
||
3. Click **+ Add Field**
|
||
4. Choose a **field type** (see [Fields](/l/tr/user-guide/data-model/capabilities/fields) for all types)
|
||
5. Enter the **field name** and optional description
|
||
6. Configure field-specific settings (see below)
|
||
7. **Kaydet**'e tıklayın
|
||
|
||
**Quick method:** Click the **+** at the end of column headers in any table view → **Customize fields**.
|
||
|
||
## Show the Field in Views
|
||
|
||
New fields aren't automatically visible. To display:
|
||
|
||
1. Open the object's table view
|
||
2. Click **Options → Fields**
|
||
3. Click the **eye icon** next to your field to show it
|
||
4. Drag to reorder
|
||
|
||
## Configuration Options
|
||
|
||
### For Select / Multi-Select
|
||
|
||
1. Click **+ Add option** to create choices
|
||
2. Set a **default option** if desired
|
||
3. Drag to reorder options
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
**Use API names for imports.** Enable **Advanced mode** in Settings to see API names. See [Field Mapping](/l/tr/user-guide/data-migration/capabilities/field-mapping).
|
||
</Note>
|
||
|
||
### For Currency Fields
|
||
|
||
Set the **default currency** (USD, EUR, etc.) for new records.
|
||
|
||
### For Phone Fields
|
||
|
||
Set the **default country code** to pre-fill for new phone numbers.
|
||
|
||
### Making a Field Unique
|
||
|
||
Toggle **Unique** to prevent duplicate values across records.
|
||
|
||
<Note>
|
||
If duplicates exist (including in deleted records), you'll get an error. Clean up duplicates first.
|
||
</Note>
|
||
|
||
### Setting Default Values
|
||
|
||
For Select fields, you can choose which option is pre-selected for new records. For Checkbox fields, set whether it's checked or unchecked by default.
|
||
|
||
## Deactivating a Field
|
||
|
||
1. Go to **Settings → Data Model**
|
||
2. Find the field
|
||
3. Click **⋮ → Deactivate**
|

||
Data is preserved. You can reactivate or permanently delete later.
