Custom Fields

Make it yours with custom fields

Overview

E-Sports Manager provides a comprehensive custom fields system that allows you to create, manage, and organize your custom fields. This powerful feature enables you to extend the default data model with organization-specific fields for members, teams, staff, and applicants.

Key Features

Multi-Entity Support

Custom fields can be created and managed for different entities in your organization:

• Members
• Teams
• Staff
• Applicants

Each entity type can have its own set of custom fields, allowing you to collect and organize data specific to your needs.

Field Types

The system supports various field types to accommodate different data requirements:

• Text: For general text input
• Number: For numerical values
• Date: For date selection
• Boolean: For yes/no or true/false values

Organization-Specific Configuration

Each organization can define its own set of custom fields, ensuring that the data collection process aligns with your specific needs and workflows.

How to Use

Managing Custom Fields

1. Navigate to Settings -> Custom Fields
2. Select the entity type you want to add custom fields to (Members, Teams, Staff, or Applicants)
3. Click “Add Custom Field” to create a new field
4. Configure the field:
   • Enter a descriptive name
   • Select the appropriate field type
   • Save the field

Using Custom Fields in Forms

Custom fields automatically appear in the relevant forms:

• When adding new members, teams, staff, or applicants
