Required role: Owner or Admin. Saving custom fields requires permission to update students.
Every student record has a set of built-in fields. Use Settings → Student Fields to add your own fields, such as an emergency contact or a uniform size. Custom fields appear on student profiles and the student edit form.

​
Built-in fields

The top of the list shows the default fields. They’re locked, so you can’t edit or remove them.

​
Add a custom field

1

Open the dialog

Click Add Field. The Add Custom Field dialog opens.
2

Name the field

Enter a Field Label, such as Emergency Contact. Each label must be unique.
3

Choose a type

Pick a Type: Text Field, Long Text, or Select.
4

Add options for a Select field

If you chose Select, type each choice under Options and click Add. A select field needs at least one option.
5

Mark it required (optional)

Turn on Required if staff must fill it in.
6

Save

Click Add Field. The field saves right away and appears under Custom fields.
Required fields show a red asterisk in the list.

​
Edit or delete a custom field

  • Edit — click the pencil icon on a field to open Edit Field, make your changes, and click Update.
  • Delete — click the delete icon and confirm. Existing student data stored in the field is no longer displayed, and you can’t undo this.
To classify students into groups such as houses or streams, use student labels instead of a select field. Labels can be filtered across the student list.
