About identity custom fields

2025-10-01Last updated

Identity custom fields are user-defined properties that store additional information about identities in Genetec ClearID™, beyond the system’s default fields. Account administrators create and manage these fields in the ClearID web portal.

There are several ways to populate custom fields:
  • Enter them into the identity profile manually.
  • Synchronize them from an external data source.
The custom fields can then be synchronized to linked Security Center systems as needed.
Note:
To automatically synchronize with Security Center, select Synchronize custom field values with external systems. No setup is required, and fields can be populated later by an Account administrator.

Examples of custom fields include vehicle profiles, employee types, worker schedules, and more. Fields are organized in sections and can be configured as read-only.
