Placing a User Defined Field

After you create a custom field, you must assign it to an App Area in Meevo.

  1. Go to Meevo > Data > User Defined Fields.
  2. Select Field View.
  3. Locate the field to assign. Fields that need assignment have Unassigned in the App Area/Tab or Service column. You can use the filters or enter a Search term to refine the list.
  4. Select the checkbox in the Select column beside each field that you want to assign. Fields that have already been assigned cannot be selected.
  5. Select Place New Field. The Place New Field window appears.
  6. Select the App Area from the drop-down, and then proceed below according to what you selected. For each App Area, only locations of the same selected Business Type will see the field.
