Additional custom fields can be added to your submissions for internal use. Once added, the new field will be visible for all submissions across the specific program.

These fields will only be visible to you; researchers will not be able to view these fields.

Your role in the organization determines what you can do with custom fields. Company and Program Administrators have the permission to add, edit and archive fields to a submission.

All other roles will have the permission to update the value of a custom field on a submission if the user is linked to the right program. Only program and group readers do not have the permission to update the value of a custom field.

Adding a field

  1. Once on your program, go to More > Custom fields

  2. Click "Create a custom field"

  3. Select a field type, you can select 3 types:

    1. Text - This option enables you to create an editable text field.

    2. Dropdown - This option enables you to create a drop-down list that you can select from when editing your custom field.

    3. Toggle - This option enables you to create a clickable toggle option so that program members can select if the vulnerability meets the criteria the field is labeled with.​​

  4. Give the field a name

  5. If you chose dropdown, you can define the different options you'd like to have available

  6. Click Save

Editing a field

You can edit your custom fields to change the name of the field label or edit dropdown options, field types cannot be edited.

  1. Once on your program, go to More > Custom fields

  2. Click on the 3 dots on the right of your fields then "Edit custom field"

  3. Make your changes then click Save

If you have removed options from your dropdown list, the fields with this value assigned will keep it, unless if you decide to edit it. By choosing to edit it, it will not be possible to select again the value that got removed.

Archiving a field

If you do not need it anymore, you can archive a custom field. Once archived, a field does not appear on the submissions and do not appear on data exports either.

Updating a field

The information you input will now be tied to your field labels.

When you export your reports as a CSV file, the custom field and the information associated with it will also be included in the export.
