About User Defined Fields

What are User Defined Fields?

User Defined Fields are custom fields that you create and add to forms in Meevo. These custom fields can be drop-downs, radio buttons, lists, checkboxes, text boxes, date calendars, or file upload controls, and you can make any of them a required field. Meevo audits the usage of custom fields just as it does any other field.

How do I create User Defined Fields?

1. Add the User Defined Field.
2. Assign the User Defined Field to an App Area in Meevo.

Where can I place custom fields in Meevo?

After you create a custom field, you assign it to an App Area in Meevo.

• You can place a field in a maintenance form, like the Client or Product forms. You have the option to place the field in the Main tab or in a custom tab.
• The field can appear in a pop-up window in Appointment Book that is triggered when a specific service is booked, checked in, or checked out.
• The field can appear in Online Booking if placed in the Booking App Area and Show when booking online is enabled when placing the field.

Can I inactivate a custom field?

If Meevo collects audit data on a custom field, the field cannot be deleted, but you can inactivate (hide) and reactivate (show) the field from the tab or App Area.

There are no prerequisites to creating a new field. However, to assign the field to a tab, you must have at least one Business Type configured.
