Enter your credentials and click "Sign In".

Click "Administration".

Click "General Administration".

Select "Host Custom Fields" from the "Site Administration" / "Host Settings" menu.

To create a new custom field, enter the "**Field Name**", "**Field Title**", "**Display Order**", and "**Field Type**". \ The "**Field Type**" can be a "Text Field", or you can also choose from "Date/Time Picker", "Dropdown List", "Check Box", "Text Area", or "Label".

Select your "Visibility Rules": To enable the field for admins, you must have at least the "Is Admin Visible?" box checked. If you want to make this a required field to be entered whenever a host is created, also enable "Is Admin Mandatory?"

If this is a field hosts should be able to view and edit, enable the "Is Host Visible?" checkbox, and if it is required for them to enter a value before saving, enable the "Is Host Mandatory?" box.

Once finished, click "Save".

Close the "Host Custom Fields" module.

Navigate to "Host Settings" to verify the new configuration.

Click "Add New" to open the host creation form.

Scroll to the "Custom Fields" section to verify the presence of the new field.
