# Resource Custom Fields

## What are resource custom fields 
Resource custom fields help you collect and keep data on your resources that Nexudus doesn't offer by default. 

*For example, a **Last H&S check** field that lets you keep the date when your resources were last checked by a health and safety officer.*

You can keep these custom fields internal or also make them visible to customers booking them on the Members Portal. 

*For example, have a Yes/No custom field for Premium Members Only and have it as a filter on the Members Portal.*

## Where you can use resource custom fields 
You can create custom fields for {{variable.resources}} in a few clicks {{variable.OnTheAdminPanel}}

## How to Use Resource {{variable.CustomFields_CAPS}}
You can use {{variable.resource}} {{variable.customfields}} to: 

*  Collect and store data related to one or more {{variable.resources}}
*  Expand the default filter options available to {{variable.admins}} and {{variable.customers}} by letting them filter resources using {{variable.customfields}}.

* * *

## Creating Resource {{variable.CustomFields_CAPS}}

1. {{snippet.FirstStepProcedure}}

2. {{snippet.CRMCustomFields_Path}}
3. {{snippet.AddCustomField_Step}}
4. Add a **Field name**.

*If you want this {{variable.customfield}} to answer a question, the name of the field should be your question.*

5. Select **Resource** as your **Record type**

6. Select a **Field data type** based on the information you want to collect.

9. {{snippet.Save_Changes}}
* * *

## Settings 
All resource custom fields include two tabs that control what data the field collects and where you can display it.
