666 Chapter 22 Store and Access Contact Information
User-Defined Fields
If you’d like to save information that doesn’t fit into the default contact record
fields, you can create a custom field. A custom field can contain information such
as text, numbers, percentages, currency, Yes/No answers, dates, times, durations,
keywords, and formulas.
You can create a custom information field from any view of the All Fields page by
clicking the New button in the lower-left corner of the page and then specifying
the name, type, and format of the field in the New Column dialog box that opens.Custom fields can be formatted to contain many specific types of information.
Custom fields appear when you filter the All Fields page on User-Defined Fields
In This Folder. When you enter information in the custom field for a specific con-
tact, it also appears in the User-Defined Fields In This Item list within that contact
record.
