Custom Fields
Add structured custom data fields to any platform resource using the Custom Fields Manager — no code required.
Custom Fields
Custom Fields let you attach additional structured data to platform resources — orders, drivers, vehicles, contacts, and more — without writing code. Fields are organized into named groups, rendered inline on resource detail views, and returned in API responses.
The Custom Fields Manager is embedded inside the settings panel of each extension that supports it (for example, FleetOps → Settings → Custom Fields).
Resource Tabs
The manager shows a tab for each resource type that supports custom fields. Click a tab to view and manage fields for that resource (e.g. Order, Driver, Vehicle, Contact).
Field Groups
Fields are organized into groups. A group is a named container that renders as a section on the resource detail view. You need at least one group before you can add fields.
Creating a Group
Click New field group and enter a name. The group appears immediately in the manager.
Grid Size
Each group has a Grid Size setting that controls the number of columns its fields are rendered in:
| Grid Size | Layout |
|---|---|
1 | Single column — fields span full width |
2 | Two equal columns |
3 | Three equal columns |
Change it via the Grid Size dropdown on the group. Compact fields like short text inputs or toggles work well with a larger grid size.
Deleting a Group
Click the trash icon on a group to remove it along with all its fields.

Editing and Deleting Fields
Click the pencil icon on any field to edit it. Changes apply immediately across all resource records.
Click the trash icon to delete a field. The field and all its stored values are permanently removed.
API Access
Custom field values are included in API responses for their resource. Field keys are derived from the field label in snake_case. You can read and write custom field values via the standard GET, POST, and PUT endpoints for the resource.
