About custom fields

2023-05-30Last updated

A custom field is a user-defined property associated with an entity type. Custom fields are useful for storing additional information.

In Security Center, Genetec ClearID™ uses custom fields for visitors, credentials, and cardholders functions. The group name ClearID is used to identify the custom fields associated with ClearID, and can be found in the Group name/Priority column.
Important: ClearID custom fields should be used as read-only fields. These custom field values are populated and managed by ClearID. If you have existing custom fields, and the name and entity type matches the ClearID custom fields, ClearID will use the existing custom fields.
