Core - Custom Data | TempWorks Knowledge Base

What is Custom Data?

The custom data page is used for adding information on the employee, customer, order, assignment, or contact records, which does not currently have an existing field in Core; this includes anything from equipment rental documentation to marketing statements.

Custom data fields will be available for searching and reporting purposes.
