How to add custom fields to a vendor profile

You can add Custom Fields to vendor's profiles for the internal use of your company. When you add a custom field to a vendor's profile, it'll add this custom field to all vendors that you view. Again, custom fields are for your own internal use so they can be for whatever your company needs them for. Also note, although the fields you add will be added across all vendor profiles, the values input into those fields will be unique per the vendor profile. We'll explain this furthermore within this user guide.

How to Add Custom Fields:

1. Navigate to the vendor profile you'd like to view. If you're unsure of how to do this, please view our Search Like a Pro User Guide.
2. Once within the vendor's profile, click on the PRO Details tab.
3. Click the plus symbol within the Custom Fields section.
4. Click the Add Custom Field link.
5. Select the Custom Field Type. Note: When adding either a select list, radio buttons, or checkboxes list, you'll be able to add additional items at this time. You can also choose to have one selected as a default. If you're unsure of what these Field Types mean, please view the Field Type Classification section below.
6. Input a Custom Field Label or Label Name (dependent on the custom field type). This label will be implemented to all vendor profiles for your internal use.
7. If select list, radio buttons, or checkboxes are selected as the Custom Field Type, you can add additional options by clicking the Add Item button.
8. Click Submit. Note: Any new custom field you create here will immediately become part of your PRO Details for all vendors, and you may then at any time go into a specific vendor's profile PRO Details tab and add / update the "value" of that custom field for that vendor as appropriate.
