Team & workspace setup
Custom fields
Capture extra information Clockspot doesn't ask for — on staff records or on each shift.
Custom fields let you collect information Clockspot doesn't ask for out of the box — an employee ID, a department, a cost code on each shift. You define a field once and it appears on the matching records.
Two places to add them
- On staff — open the Custom fields action on the Staff page. Use these for details about a person, like an employee ID or department. Admins fill them in on the staff record.
- On time entries — open the Custom fields action on the Timesheet page. Employees fill these in as they clock in or out, so use them for per-shift details like a cost code or work order.
Creating a field
Give the field a Label, choose a Type — text, number, a dropdown of options, a checkbox, a date, and more — and mark it Required if it has to be filled. Drag or set the Sort order to control where it appears in the form.
Retiring a field
Press Archive to stop collecting a field. Records that already have a value keep it; new records just won't show the field. Restore brings an archived field back.
Common questions
- Will archiving a field delete the values already collected?
No. Archiving stops the field from appearing on new records; values already saved stay on the records that have them.
- Can employees change staff custom fields?
No — staff fields are filled in by admins on the Staff record. The fields employees fill in are the time-entry ones, as they clock.
