CUSTOM FIELDS

Capture the data your school actually needs

Add unlimited custom fields to student and staff records — text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, and checkboxes — so every piece of information your school tracks has a proper home.

Every small school has unique data requirements that standard systems ignore. Custom fields let you extend student and staff records with any field type you need — from uniform sizes and transport routes to medical notes and photo consent — without workarounds or spreadsheets.

Mark fields required or optional, and control exactly who can see sensitive information. Role-based visibility means health staff see allergy data while general staff see only what they need — giving you both flexibility and privacy in one place.

  • Any field type — Add text, number, date, dropdown, or checkbox fields to match whatever your school needs to track.
  • Required or optional — Mark fields required so critical information is never left blank during enrollment or record updates.
  • Role-based visibility — Restrict sensitive fields to specific staff roles so confidential data stays with the right people.
  • Unlimited custom fields — There is no cap on the number of fields you can add — build records that reflect your school, not a generic template.
