Manage profile fields and sections

Use custom fields and sections to organize employee profiles exactly how you need them.

Updated yesterday

Organize employee data your way. Add custom profile fields, group them into sections, and control visibility with custom access levels.

📌 Note: Only Administrators can manage profile fields. Your organization’s Access levels define who can see and edit individual fields.


Access profile fields settings

To view your current setup, go to Settings > Employee data > Profile fields. The left panel shows the sections currently visible on employee profiles.

Select any section to view and manage the fields inside it. By default, the following sections are available:

  • General information: This section contains important user information such as name and email address. Since this information is used throughout the platform, you cannot change or remove these fields here.

  • System sections:

    • Professional

    • Employment details

    • Company structure

    • Personal

    • Address

    • Payroll information

    • Emergency contact

    • Social networks


Add custom fields

Capture additional data by adding custom fields to any section. After you create these fields, they will show up in the employee’s profile under the section you chose.

1. Open the section where you want to add a field.

2. Click Add new field.

3. In the side panel, enter the Field name and select a Type (e.g., Single select).

4. Add options if you are using a select-type field.

5. Click Add field.

Available field types

There are 10 custom field types available:

  • Single line text

  • Multi-line text

  • Single select

  • Multi-select

  • Date

  • Date range

  • Employee (to link to another user in the system)

📌 Note: New custom fields appear at the bottom of their section by default.
