### Add a custom field
Video training manual 2019 - [Click Here](https://vimeo.com/375555852)
Custom field set up for a checkbox.
I am creating this custom field so that I can set it up against my customers, to distinguish between different categories of customers.
I want to use a checkbox in this case.
First add the custom field and indicate what type of control type it is and whether it be a checkbox or text box.
You can go and create a category that allows you to break up further dropdowns on your custom fields. this is not a requirement however if you have a lot of custom fields it's better to categorize them.
The next tab that you need to go to is the entity links that means you need to link the custom field that you created to somewhere in the system.
You can link one custom field to multiple places in the system, example customer set up, supplier setup an inventory setup using the same custom field.

By removing the tick on the Printable label this will mean that when printing the document for the customer is will not see that custom field.
