Custom fields to add extra information to participants

If you need to store extra information regarding your research participants and stakeholders, you can use custom fields. This allows you to treat your UserBit workspace as the central place for all participant related information.

To create extra fields for your participants, navigate to the Custom Fields section of the workspace Contacts > Custom Fields.

The type selected controls how the input is displayed on the participant forms.

Note: Custom field name cannot be the same as a reserved field (or a field that already exists)

Custom fields apply to both global and local contacts. When you create a custom field, it becomes available not just for the global contacts, but also for participants on the project level.
