Custom Fields - Plugixa Team
Where this appears: Plugixa Team, then the Custom Fields tab.
Every team has something the standard fields do not cover: a pronoun, a phone extension, a certification, an office. Custom fields add those as real fields rather than as a sentence buried in the bio.
Defining a field
Give it a label and a type, and choose which layouts show it. That last part is what keeps a dense layout dense: a certification can appear on the card and stay off the inline strip, without maintaining two versions of the person.
Why a field rather than the bio
Because a field can be shown, hidden, ordered and searched on its own. Text in a bio can only be read. If you ever want everybody with a first-aid certificate, the difference is whether that is a question or a manual scan.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The field is not on the card | That layout is not ticked for it | Edit the field’s display options |
| It is empty for most people | The value is per member | Fill it in on each record |
