How to Add Staff Custom Fields in School Settings

When you need to add staff custom fields you can navigate to the settings on the menu bar and find the staff on top. 

Menu Bar >> Settings >> Staff

Click on Staff Fields. 

When you enter the Staff fields section you will find some default categories and fields. You can use it as it is or customize them according to your school by editing and adding fields and categories.

To add new category, click '+Add New Category'. 

When you add a new category you will get a popup page where you will need to add details like:

• Category Title 
• Sort order

and click Submit.

After you have added a category you can start adding new custom fields in it.

Click '+Add New Field' 

In this area add:

• Field name
• Field Type (Textbox, Dropdown, Checkboxes, etc.) 
• Default (if any)
• Turn on or off required, hide, and system-wide toggle so that the requirement can be visible with the field.

Click Submit to save.

You can repeat the same steps to create more fields.

You can reorganize the sort order of fields by clicking and dragging the fields that have the four horizontal line.
