IMSMA allows you to create, change, and remove fields which are not predefined in IMSMA. These fields are referred to as custom defined fields (CDFs). CDFs can be added to field report Data Entry Form items (accident, land, activity, location, education, QM, and victim) and to country structure area, explosive ordnance, organisation, and place.
CDFs added to accident, land, activity, location, education, QM, and victim can be added to field report Data Entry Form templates so that they become part of the paper-based field report Data Entry Form ([[:Image:uMFig142.png|Figure 142]]).

After users add data to the field report Data Entry Form and the field report Data Entry Form is approved, the data entered into the custom defined field can be viewed in the Current View Summary window ([[:Image:uMFig143.png|Figure 143]]).

You can enter data for CDFs that are added to place, explosive ordnance, organisation, or country structure area via their applicable Editor windows ([[:Image:uMFig144.png|Figure 144]]).

If the custom defined field information is successfully saved, the CDF Editor window closes and the custom defined field is listed in the Data Inventory Manager window. After the custom defined field is added, it becomes available from the folder of the data category in which it was created in the Field Report Data Entry Form Manager.
