Custom fields

Custom fields are fields you can create and add to your back-office depending on your needs.

Custom fields can be applied to the following elements in DJUST:

  • Navigation categories

  • Users

  • Accounts

  • Organisations

  • Offers

  • Orders

  • Suppliers

    Supplier custom fields only apply to marketplace platforms (allowing several suppliers or sellers). If you have an e-commerce website for your own products, do not create custom fields for suppliers.

Recommendations

  • DJUST recommends creating all the needed custom fields before starting to input any data. If you modify custom fields after importing some data, you will need to re-import the data model first, and then to re-import your data.
  • Do not add too many required custom fields as this can prevent you or other operators to add new entities if they have all the required information.
  • Ensure that the name of the custom field and the external ID are not the same. This will cause importation issues.
