Admin-Only Fields

Fields marked as Admin Only have special behavior:
  • Not visible to regular users
  • Only editable by administrators
  • Display a green “admin” tag in settings
  • Useful for internal tracking
Examples of admin-only fields:
  • Approval notes
  • Verification status
  • Internal member ID
  • HR comments

​
Best Practices

Use descriptive, user-friendly names. “Emergency Contact Phone” is better than “EC_Phone”.
Use the description field to explain what information you need and why.
Use appropriate field types - dates for dates, numbers for numeric data. This enables better validation and filtering.
Think about who needs to see each field. Use admin-only for sensitive internal data.
