# How to Add a Custom Field to a Product in Clientexec


Custom fields in Clientexec allow you to collect additional information from clients during signup or store product-specific details in their account.

### Steps to Add a Custom Field
1. **Log in as an Admin**  
   Make sure you’re signed into Clientexec with administrator privileges.

2. **Navigate to Custom Fields**  
   Go to: *Settings → Products → Custom Fields*

3. **Create a New Field**  
   Click *Add*. In the popup, enter the **name** of the new field and click *OK*.

4. **Edit the Field Settings**  
   Click on the new field to configure it. Choose the field type and adjust options (required, admin-only, show on order form, etc.).  
   **Note:** Leave all groups and products unchecked unless you want the field to appear for all products.

5. **Assign the Field to a Specific Product Group**  
   Go to: *Settings → Products → Products*, edit the desired group, and in the *Custom Fields* box, enter the exact name of the field you created. Save changes.

### Example Use Cases
* Collecting a domain name for hosting services  
* Recording customer configuration preferences  
* Adding custom notes or identifiers per product group  

**✅ You’ve successfully added a custom field and linked it to a product group.**
