How do I create custom location fields?
Clean Smarts has a powerful yet simple user custom field feature. You are able to add as MANY custom location fields to your location profiles as you want. These fields can then be viewed as separate, sortable columns in the Manage Locations screen. Custom fields are great for tracking things like contract renewal dates, secondary contact information, and legacy system IDs.
How to add new or edit existing location fields for your account
- As an administrator, go to Admin > Company Settings and scroll to the Custom Location Fields section.
Click on "Add Custom Field" or select "Edit" in the action dropdown for an existing field.
- Type a description of the field. This will be the label the field is seen as in the location profile and in column selectors for various reports.
- Select the type of data the field will hold. You can choose from a Yes/No field (a checkbox), date, text, number, or file attachment. Clean Smarts supports images, videos, Microsoft office file types, PDFs and zip files as attachments.
- Select who should be able to see this field and its value. By default, fields are unrestricted, meaning that any cleaner, manager, or administrator can see the field and its value. The other options are "Managers and administrators", which are defined as anyone who have the Location Edit or Location View modules, and "Administrators only", which is the account administrator or anyone with the Manage Account module.
