### Creating a new field
There are a number of different types of profile fields you can create. They are:
* **Yes/No** - An additional tick box.
* **Numeric** - An additional numerical digit-only field.
* **Text** - An additional character field.
* **Link** - To add an external URL link.
* **Phone number** - A phone number field.
* **Address** - An address field.
* **Select with multiple fields** - Option to add multiple different options
***The process for adding each of these is broadly similar:***
1. Open the additional data fields home page.
2. Select the type of field you want to add from the buttons along the top (described above).
3\. Complete the fields as applicable (Any fields marked with a \* are mandatory). \
4\. Click on 'Add custom field'.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Different or additional options may apply to some of the additional data fields you can create, and therefore may not be represented in the video example above.
{% endhint %}
### Editing and deleting new fields
Each new field has two icons to its right (Under actions):
- Edit icon: Click here to make adjustments similar to when you're creating a new field. \
 - Delete icon: Click here to remove the additional field altogether.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Edits to your new profile field will apply immediately for any new users/companies etc, however, old users remain unaffected until edited, even if the new field is now mandatory.
{% endhint %}
