Custom fields can be useful if you need to enter additional information into your employees' records in Sage HR when there isn't a pre-defined field already set up.

To help with this, you can create custom fields that allow you to add unlimited details, create custom reports, and group employees by certain data.


Types of custom fields

There are several different types of custom fields.

  • Text field

  • Website

  • Email

  • Text area

  • Dropdown

  • Multi-select

  • Employee dropdown

  • Tags

  • Date
