TalentLMS lets you add your own custom fields to course profiles to help you optimize their management and classification.

To create your first custom field, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator and go to Account & Settings > Courses (1).
2. Scroll down to the Other section and click select None (2).
3. Click Add field (3).
4. In the Name (4) field, type a name for your custom field.
5. From the Type (5) drop-down list, choose one of the four types of user input:
- Text
- Dropdown: In the Dropdown items field type each item and hit the Enter key to add it as a tag and separate it from the next. Or click on the code (</>) icon to add all items, separated with a semicolon (;).
- Checkbox
- Date
| Note: You can choose to make your custom field Mandatory, Visible on reports and Visible to learners (6). You can also make it available on your main domain and/or one or more of your branches, by using Selective availability (7). |
6. Click Save (8) to create the custom field.
7. If you want to change the order in which your custom fields are displayed on the Course pages, click Reorder (9). Οn the following side drawer, drag and drop your custom fields to change their place on the list, and click Save to set the order.
At any time, you can choose to Edit (10) or Delete (11) a custom course field. Note that if you delete a custom field that is populated in the course profiles, that information will be lost permanently.
