Custom fields are additional fields used to store information beyond standard page content. They are set up by Candid in order to capture the correct information for custom content.
Why are they used?
They help create consistent layouts and structured information across a website, whilst making sure it’s easy to complete in the back-end.
Common field types
Examples include text fields, image uploads, dates, links and selection boxes.
Editing field values
Simply update the field value and save your changes.
Things to be aware of
Some fields may appear in multiple places across the website, so changes can have a wider impact.
Need more help?
If you’re unsure what a field controls, please ask before making changes.
