Custom Job Fields

Custom Fields are not typically required for a SmashFly or API implementation, but you must check with the SmashFly Customer's System Administrator for their custom field requirements.

Custom job fields are configured by SmashFly working with the customer. For any "Select" fields, such as Drop-Down, List Box, Radio Button, and Checkbox, code values for the field must be passed in the API. Work with your SmashFly Technical Services Consultant to obtain the field IDs and code values.

Field values that include special characters must be wrapped in beginning and ending CDATA tags.

Custom Field Categories

SmashFly allows a limited number of each category of custom field, as described in the following table.
