Custom job fields allow you to capture data custom to your organization in a standardized format. Over time, you may need to delete a custom job field as you make process changes.

General considerations

Deleting a custom job field will affect your new jobs, existing jobs, and reports in different ways. When you delete a custom job field:

  • The custom field will not appear when creating a new job.
  • The custom field will be removed from existing jobs with no associated custom field data.
  • The custom field will remain on existing jobs that already have associated custom field data.
  • The custom field and associated data will no longer appear in your reports.
