How to create custom project details

How to customize your project details fields to suit your business—and how to use them moving forward!

Updated over a week ago

Create custom project details fields in your company settings so everything you track is relevant to your needs. These fields allow you to record and review the specific information you need, and apply it to other elements of HoneyBook, like contracts.

📣 Note

Custom project details are not retroactively added to projects. When you add custom project details, they'll only appear on projects you create from that point forward.


Create custom project detail fields

While your account will have a few mandatory default fields (like project name, type, and date), you have the flexibility to add additional fields as needed to collect the necessary information for your business.

📣 Note

Only account owners, super admins, and admins can create and edit custom project details fields. Other team members can edit the field information for a specific project, but they cannot customize the fields themselves.

  1. From the top nav menu, select your profile photo > select Company Settings

  2. Select the Preferences tab

  3. Next to Project Details, select Edit

  4. Add custom project details by selecting + Add

    1. Rename the custom project detail by selecting its name > entering the new name

    2. Custom fields can only be in short text format

  5. When you're done adding fields, select Save

Delete custom project detail fields

When you're looking at your custom project detail fields, hover over the one you want to delete > select the trash can icon. If you accidentally delete a custom project detail field, select Cancel.


Use custom project details in files

With your new project details in place, you can now use these fields to enhance your contracts, as adding custom fields in your company settings will automatically add those fields to your contract smart fields list as well.
