Add custom fields

Fields capture data about focus areas in your site. As a Focus admin, you hold the keys to creating fields that align with how your organization works.

Focus comes with fields essential to planning, but admins can create up to 15 custom fields to track other focus area attributes for better reporting and visibility.

To create a new custom field

  1. Select the Settings () icon in the top navigation and select Focus admin settings.

  2. Under Configurations, select Custom fields.

  3. On the custom fields page, select Create near the upper-right of the table.

  4. In the panel that opens:

    1. Give your field a name. This label will appear on the focus areas across your site, so be sure to choose a clear name.

    2. Select what type of field you want to create. You can’t change this once the field is created.

    3. Add a description. This description appears on the Fields table you’re currently viewing for sorting purposes, and will also appear when hovering over table column headers.

  5. When you’re done, select Create.

Your new custom field will display on all focus areas in your site.
