Custom Fields
Last updated: July 25, 2026
Every record type in Lextree ships with a sensible default set of fields, but your organization can tailor them. Account admins customize fields in Settings → Field Settings. There you can adapt any dataset to the way your team tracks information.
What you can customize
For any record type, an admin can:
- Add a custom field to capture data the defaults don’t cover,
- Remove default fields you don’t use,
- Rename field labels to match your organization’s vocabulary,
- Reorder fields to control how they appear on forms and detail pages.
Field types
When you add a field, you choose its type. Lextree supports:
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Text | Short, single-line text — names, identifiers |
| Text box | Long, multi-line text — notes, descriptions |
| Select | A single choice from a defined list |
| Multi-select | Several choices from a defined list |
| Date | A date with no time — due dates, filing dates |
| Date & time | A date with a time — meetings, timestamps |
| Number | Quantities and counts |
| Percent | Rates and percentages |
| Currency | Money amounts, with a currency code |
| A validated email address | |
| Phone | A phone number |
| URL | A validated web address |
| Yes / No | A boolean or tri-state (Yes / No / Unknown) |
| Country | A country selection |
| Country + subdivision | A country with a state or province |
| Jurisdiction & form | A legal jurisdiction and entity form |
For Select and Multi-select fields, you define the list of options.
Who can configure fields
Field configuration is an account-admin task done in Settings. It changes the fields for everyone in your organization. Day-to-day, people fill in those fields on records according to their Editor or Viewer access to each module.
