# Custom Fields {% embed url="" %} You do not have to use only Daisychain's pre-loaded standard fields. Our custom fields feature enable you to record data about people beyond what is available in Daisychain's [**Standard Fields.**](/help/managing-data/standard-fields.md) To create custom fields: 1. Go to **Settings**, and then click on **Fields.** 2. Click the **Add** button to create a new custom field. 3. Choose **Field Name**, which will be what displays throughout the Daisychain interface. Choose your **Field Type**: * **Single Line of Text:** good for short text. * **Multiple Lines of Text:** good for more text, like longer survey responses. * **Number:** good for various kinds of numbers, and only accepts numerical values.​ * **Select:** good for when you have a set of values where you want Users to be able to select a single value from a dropdown field. {% hint style="info" %} The "identifier" listed for your custom field is all lowercase with spaces replaced by underscores, and is what you'll need to use for your column headers if you want to [import a CSV](/help/managing-data/csv-imports.md) with custom fields. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
