You can add custom fields to several screens, including Contacts, Receive, Edit, Deliver. Only users with an Admin role can perform this procedure.

If both Receive, Edit, Deliver, Pouch and Contacts (Recipients) are selected for the same custom field:

Contacts' custom field data will be automatically filled in when receiving a package for that contact.
If a contact's custom field data is changed on the package screen, the information will not be updated in the address book.

The features and options you see may vary depending upon your role and subscription. If you have any questions regarding your permissions, please contact your administrator.
