- RMsis provides a table, which can be used for managing custom fields for Test Cases.
- These custom fields will be applied globally to all projects.
- The attributes can be configured for display in the Test Case Data Table and are also included in the PDF reports generated for Test Cases.
Custom Field Attributes
A custom field has the following attributes:
- Custom Field Name
- This field specifies name of the custom field.

Just click on "Field Type" column against a custom field row to select its field type.
Possible values for this field are

- The options can be entered by clicking on respective cell.
- By default, a blank option is added to the list.

- Note: Once a custom field is associated with a Test Case,
- then its field type cannot be altered

- Delete Custom Field(s)
- Custom Field(s) can be deleted in the following two ways:
- First select custom field(s) and then click on "Delete Custom Field" button to delete them.
- By selecting context menu item "Delete Custom Field" to delete a single custom field.

This functionality can be used to reorder field options for a custom field.
It is only applicable for custom fields of type "Single select list" and "Multi select list".
- In order to reorder field options for a custom field,
- Click on the cell corresponding to the "Reorder" column for the custom field whose field options need to be reordered.
- A panel "Reorder Options" will open up using which field options can be reordered (drag and drop to move/reorder field options).
- Click on Save button after reordering the field options.
- Enable
- A custom field can be enabled by clicking on the check box on the extreme right.
- Once a custom field is enabled, it appears as part of Test Cases.
