Accessing and Updating Custom Fields

The Custom Fields screen allows administrators to view, create, and manage all available custom fields used to capture additional event data within the EventKey platform. Custom fields help tailor the EventKey user interface (UI) to match your property’s unique data collection needs.

Creating a Custom Field

You can create up to 10 custom fields. To add a new one:

1. Navigate to the Custom Fields screen.

2. Locate an empty custom field box and click the Display checkbox.

   • This enables the Label and Regex fields for entry.

3. If the custom field should be required when creating an event, select the Mandatory checkbox.

   Note: When a field is marked as Mandatory, users must complete it before the event can be created.

Field Details

• Label:
  Enter the name of the custom field. This label will appear in the EventKey UI.

• Regex (Regular Expression):
  Enter a validation pattern if you want to control the type or format of data users can enter.
  A regular expression (regex) defines a specific pattern that ensures data consistency by validating, searching, or restricting certain inputs.

  Example: Regex for a 5-digit ZIP Code

  ^\d{5}$
  
  

  • ^ indicates the start of the string.

  • \d represents any digit (0–9).

  • {5} specifies exactly five digits.

  • $ indicates the end of the string.

  This pattern ensures that only five-digit numeric entries (e.g., “12345”) are accepted. Entries such as “1234”, “123456”, or “abcde” will be rejected.
