Custom fields can be used to capture information that the system doesn’t natively track which you may wish to keep in your records for analysis or later reference. This is useful as custom fields can be used as a search filter or listed as a column in your reports.

inFlow Cloud can insert custom fields in many places, for example, having a product custom field gives you additional options to filter by such as “Manufacturer” or “Color”, and having a sales order custom field to enter more data per order, such as “Department” or VAT#, etc.
