Adding Custom Contract Fields

This article shows you how to add custom fields to the Contract Details page.

The default fields on the Contract Details page provide a snapshot of the contract's key dates, value, and company information. You can add custom fields that display data sets more directly related to your business.

• The changes you make to the Custom Fields page appear on all contract pages.

Opening the custom fields dashboard

1. Click the User name on the top menu and select Custom Fields on the drop-down menu.
