About Custom Fields

Why would I use custom fields?

A custom field allows you to track information on records that doesn't fit into Bullhorn's predefined fields.

How can I get additional custom fields?

Bullhorn allots a specific number of custom fields per entity. Once you've exhausted this number, it is not possible to obtain more. You may want to re-evaluate the fields you are using to determine which you truly need.

It is recommended to add custom fields one at a time. If you make a mistake, it's easier to track down the cause of the issue.

Custom fields allow for a plethora of different edit types, but the main process is similar. Check out the links beneath the examples below for the respective steps.
