Creating and Editing Custom Fields

Customize your database to match your cemetery’s needs by renaming existing fields or creating new ones.

Getting Started

From the dashboard, select Configuration / Settings.

Then click Define Custom Fields or choose Custom Fields from the menu.

Important: You must be a Master user to make changes in this area.

Location (Grave Identifier) Fields

There are three core location-based fields used to identify graves. These can be renamed to match your cemetery’s layout:

You may use all three fields or only some of them, but the system supports a maximum of three location identifiers. If you need additional detail, consider combining values into one field.

Standard Customizable Fields

The system also includes five general-purpose text fields that you can rename to better fit your needs:

These fields must remain text-based, but you are free to rename them to match your organization’s terminology.

Adding New Custom Fields

To create additional fields, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add New Field. You can create as many custom fields as needed.

• Integer – whole numbers only
• Amount – monetary values
• Text – up to 255 characters
• Date – full month/day/year format

Custom fields will appear after the standard fields on the record view page. The display order cannot be changed.

Controlling Field Visibility

If needed, you can hide specific custom fields from guest users by enabling the "Hidden" option next to the field. This allows you to store internal information without displaying it publicly.
