About custom fields

2024-08-02Last 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 SaaS, Genetec ClearID™ uses custom fields for visitors, credentials, and cardholders. The group name ClearID identifies 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. ClearID populates and manages the custom field values. If you have existing custom fields, and the name and entity type matches the ClearID custom fields, ClearID uses the existing custom fields. Ensure that any custom fields you create do not match ClearID custom fields, otherwise your data in Security Center SaaS can be overwritten during synchronization.
You can see the complete list for your organization in Genetec™ Configuration desktop. In the System task, click General settings > Custom fields .
