Can we add these Custom fields as Filters on the Directory Search page?
The Custom fields can be added to the filters on the Directory Search page.
If you have any such requirement email us at help.almabase.com specifying which field(s) you want added.
Are there any limitations on the Custom fields?
We would recommend to not create Custom fields for Education details, Employment details, Home, and Office address, Phone numbers, Email IDs or any other personal details.
Most of this information can be captured in the default fields that Almabase supports. Adding custom fields for these would lead to inconsistencies in data, and confusion.
Also, there are additional functionalities built in for these default fields which can be leveraged to good effect if used correctly. These functionalities can not be transferred to the Custom Fields.
