Custom fields are versatile tools that enable the collection of specific information from customers via forms or surveys, allowing for a tailored data-gathering experience.

Structuring Custom Fields

This section empowers you to design custom fields according to your business needs.

Note: Your access to certain features may vary depending on your user permissions.
