Custom fields in the employee profile
Add your own information fields to each employee's profile: badge number, clothing size, spoken language, or any other data specific to your company.
What are custom fields for?
An employee's profile in Shyfter contains standard information: first name, last name, address, NISS, etc. But every company has its own needs. Custom fields let you freely add extra information, visible and editable in each team member's profile.
Examples of use: access badge number, work clothing size, spoken language, internal HR reference, name of the direct manager.
Creating a custom field
Go to Settings ⚙️ → General → Custom fields, then click New.
The list of fields shows for each one its Name, whether it is Mandatory (Yes/No), whether it is Visible (Yes/No) and Actions (edit, delete). To create one, fill in at least:
- Field name: the label shown in the employee's profile.
- Mandatory: if enabled, the field must be filled in for each employee.
- Visible: determines whether the field is shown in the profile.
Save: the field appears in the employees' profiles.
Editing or deleting a field
Click the pencil next to the field to edit it. Deleting a field also erases the associated data for all employees: do this with caution.
Custom fields are visible only to administrators and managers with access to employee profiles. They are not visible to employees in Shyfter Staff.
