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 (1).

2. Click Courses (2).

3. Scroll down to the Other section, and click the arrow (3) button next to Custom course fields.

4. Click Add field (4).

5. In the Name (5) field, type a name for your custom field.

6. From the Type (6) drop-down list, choose the data type of your custom course field:

• Text
• Dropdown: In the Dropdown items field, type each item and hit the Enter key, to add it as a dropdown option and separate it from the next. Alternatively, click the code icon (</>) to add all items, separated with a semicolon (;).
  
• Checkbox
• Date

6. Click Save (9) to create the custom field.

7. (Optional) To change the order your custom fields are displayed in under each course, click Reorder (10) while in the Custom course fields screen. In the drawer that opens, drag and drop your custom fields to change their place on the list, and click Save to set the new order.

8. (Optional) Edit or delete (11) a custom course field anytime. Deleted custom fields and all their data is lost, and cannot be restored.

When Instructors and Administrators create new courses or edit existing ones, they can see the available custom fields under Course options (1) > Info (2), in the Custom Fields (3) section.

If the Visible to learners option is checked for a custom field and the field is filled in, Learners will see it in the Description (3) section of their course.
