<li>From In the '''Customisation''' menu, select → '''Data Inventory Manager'''.</li><li>'''[[Filter Item Attributes | Search]]''' the Data Inventory Manager before you add a CDF in order to make sure that a suitable system field does not already exist.</li>
<li>In the left pane of the Data Inventory Manager window, select the item and the data category to which you would like to add a CDF.</li>
<li>In the right pane of the Data Inventory Manager window, click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png]] button.</li>
::* cannot start with a digit.</li>
<li>Enter a label in the Label field. The label is the default custom defined field’s name that the user will see in the Data Entry Form Manager window. </li>
<li>Select the data type for the custom defined field from the '''Data Type''' list. The general recommendation is to avoid text fields if the CDF will be used for search/filter, statistics, maps and/or data quality. Users will enter data differently in text fields e.g. many different spellings of an organisation name so it is preferable to use data entry widgets where the user selects over text widget.
