What are Custom Fields?
Custom fields are individually configurable input fields that allow you to structure and categorize your content pieces in a consistent way—much more precisely than using tags alone.
What are Custom Fields used for?
Typical use cases include:
Capturing additional information (e.g. market, product, campaign)
Strategic classification (e.g. topic clusters like “Thought Leadership”)
Controlling & planning (e.g. budget, effort)
Available Field Types
You can choose from different input types:
Free text
Single select (dropdown)
Multi select
Number field (including sum function)
Optional settings:
Define as required field
Enable automatic sum calculation
How to Create Custom Fields
📍 Settings → System → Custom Fields
Create a new field (e.g. “Market”)
Select the field type
Define options or logic
Assign the field to content types

Custom Fields vs. Tags
Custom Fields | Tags |
Structured input | Free text |
Consistent terminology | Error-prone |
Easy to filter & analyze | Quick but less precise |
Ideal for teams | Better for spontaneous use |
Conclusion
Custom fields create clear structures, improve data analysis, and enable consistent teamwork.
Tags can still be useful for quick solutions—but should ideally be replaced by structured fields in the long run.
