Pre-loaded fields explained

This guide explains what pre-loaded fields are and how you can customise them.

Written by Costa Bontioti

šŸ“ Overview

When you first open your Customer Fields list, you'll notice some fields already exist. These are pre-loaded to save you time, since they're some of the most commonly used fields across businesses.


šŸ” The Pre-loaded Fields

Head to Settings āžœ Customer Fields to see your full list, including the pre-loaded ones.


šŸ› ļø Customising Pre-loaded Fields

You're free to edit, delete, or add new fields as needed. Pre-loaded fields work exactly like any field you create yourself, with one exception: the two System Fields (Date of Birth and Marketing Preference) can't be deleted, only edited.

šŸ’” For more on System Fields specifically, see the guide here. To create a new field of your own, see the guide here.

Can I delete a pre-loaded field I don't need?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Yes, unless it's one of the two System Fields (Date of Birth or Marketing Preference), which can only be edited, not deleted. Bear in mind that deleting a field also permanently removes any customer data stored against it.

Are pre-loaded fields already on my forms?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Not necessarily. A field existing in your Customer Fields list is separate from whether it appears on a form or on the customer profile. Check each field's settings to see where it's currently being used.
