Adding Custom Fields
Let’s take an analogy to understand custom fields better; if you have an office with folders stacked in a shelf, Custom Fields are like extra folders that you can add to your already existing folders to store more files.
Custom Fields are fields that you can manually add to the invoice creation page to store additional information relating to the invoice.
To create a Custom Field:
-
Go to Settings from the top-right corner.
-
Click Invoices.
-
Select the Field Customization tab.
-
Click + New Custom Field at the top-right corner.
-
Enter the Label Name, Data Type and other necessary details.
-
Click Save.
