Custom fields

Custom fields let you add extra data fields to your assets to capture information that Lansweeper doesn't collect by default. There are two types:

• Basic custom fields: Fields you define and populate manually.
• Derived fields: Calculated fields that evaluate an expression across your asset data. See About derived fields.
