# How to add and remove user fields?

- [x] PT
- [x] ES

---

In Cegid Valuekeep, you can add business-specific fields, known as **user fields**, to existing screens and remove them when they are no longer needed.

---

## Create fields

To add a user field to an entity, follow these steps:

1. Go to the list of the entity where you want to add the field;
2. Click on the **configuration** icon and select the option **Manage Custom Attributes**;
3. In the window displayed, select the desired **entity**;
4. Click on **Add**.

The **Equipment** and **Tool** entities share the same structure, so the fields created are available in both.

An **Entity** can take on one or more of the following roles: **Employee**, **Customer** or **Supplier**. In that case, you can add the specific attributes for each role in the respective extension.

> [!WARNING]
> Extensibility is only available in the **Universe** line.

---

## Remove fields

You can only remove user fields that **have not yet been used**. To remove a field, click the **trash can icon** in the lower-left corner of the field editing screen.

Once removed, they are no longer available for editing in the entity view, in grid editing, and in the extension view.

If the field is already being used in an **entity**, **it cannot be removed**. In this case, it can be inactivated by deactivating the **Active field** option, located in the lower left-hand corner and active by default. The field no longer appears in the entity view.
