Custom Fields

A custom field is a data field that can be added to a software application, website, or database to capture information that is not included in the default set of fields.

To create and arrange custom fields go to Settings, and under Data Model, click Custom Fields.

On the right side of the screen, the custom fields editor will enable you to create custom fields, group them into collections, and assign them to item types.

1 - Create Fields

Click the green "New" button to create a custom field. Choose a name for the custom field, and create as many fields as you'd like. Some examples of custom fields DevStride uses are:

• Goal
• Lead Source
• Responsible
• Tactic

Note that under each custom field you can add options, by typing the options name/title and clicking "Add".

2 - Group Into Collections

Create collections by click the green "New" button next to 2 - Group Into Collections. Once you've created your list of collections, drag in custom fields to include them in the collection, drag around to change their order, or drag out to remove them from the collection

You can mark a custom field within a collection as Required. This will prompt the work item to ask you to select a custom field before being able to save a new item.

3 - Assign to Item Types
