Creating and managing custom fields

Custom fields are extra fields that you can create to gather additional information beyond the standard fields provided in zapfloor. These custom fields can be tailored for contacts, customers, visitors, products, leads, units, locations, and more.

You can find the custom fields tab in Settings > Custom fields
