About custom fields for contractors

Customize the information stored in your contractor organizations and member profiles by adding custom fields to your account.

You can also update the data access permissions in the Contractor Portal so that only some fields can be viewed or edited by portal users. 

Before you can start, custom fields must be enabled as an add-on for your account

Manage Contractor Portal user permissions

Choose what data access permissions portal users have for custom fields.

These permissions are fully customizable. You can select if you’d like all fields to be Edit All, Read-Only All, Hide All, or Required All. You can also expand each tab and go through each field individually to select the relevant permission. 

To set portal user permissions: 

1. Go to Tools > Contractor Manager.
2. Select Portal Administration in the left-hand menu. 
3. Select the Data Access Permissions tab.
4. On the Organization Details tab, click the arrow to the right of each tab to expand all of the fields within it. Choose the settings for each field. 
5. Click Save. 
   
   
6. On the Members tab, click the arrow to the right of each tab to view all of the fields. 
   
   
7. Choose the required settings for each field.
8. Click Save.

Once you’ve saved your changes, the next time a portal user logs in, they will have access to the fields you have given them permission to see and/or edit.
