Custom Data

The Custom Data page is used to display the Custom Attributes defined by each institution to collect data not captured by baseline KC.  Attributes are displayed in tabs and sections within tabs as specified when the custom attributes are created.  The term custom data refers to a set of additional data elements needed by your institution that are not delivered with the KC system out of the box.

In the event your institution requires additional attributes for reporting purposes, these custom fields can be added to allow text entry, supply a date, a number, lookup from reference tables, or selection from a custom list. (Maintenance > Shared > Custom Attribute)  Your KC Application Administrator can make the field required or optional. (Maintenance > Shared > Custom Attribute Document).
