Custom fields exist for capturing your organization's custom information in TeamConnect. You create custom fields within object definitions under categories in an object. Within records in TeamConnect, users make custom fields available by selecting the categories with that custom field. Custom fields that appear at all times are under the root category.

In the TeamConnect API, the following interfaces represent custom field information:

•EnterpriseEntity and Project—You use methods in these classes to get and set custom fields, depending on the custom field type.

•CustomField—You use this class to retrieve information about a custom field. You mainly use this custom field and its subclasses when constructing search criteria.
