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.**](https://daisychain.gitbook.io/help/managing-data/standard-fields)

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.

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](https://daisychain.gitbook.io/help/managing-data/csv-imports) with custom fields.
