Adding Custom Fields

Let’s take an analogy to understand custom fields better; if you have an office with folders stacked in a shelf, Custom Fields are like extra folders that you can add to your already existing folders to store more files.

Custom Fields are fields that you can manually add to the invoice creation page to store additional information relating to the invoice.

To create a Custom Field:

• Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of the window or simply press s to instantly navigate to the Settings.
• Select Preferences.
• Select the Invoices sub-module under Preferences.
• Select the Field Customization tab.
• Click the + New Custom Field button in the upper-right corner.
• Fill in the details and click Save.
