# Custom fields for all persons

Custom fields can be used to place additional queries in the *Contact address* form in the *Personal data* step of the participation registration (Fig. 1). These additional fields are **displayed to every person** who goes through the registration process, regardless of which participation-type has been selected.

## Further information on custom fields in the registration form

* The answers that have been given can be **displayed on the booking confirmation,** if required. The corresponding substitutes must be used for this. More information can be found in the [Set up booking confirmation](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/setting-up-the-registration/create-templates-for-invoice-booking-participation-and-payment-confirmation/set-up-booking-confirmation) chapter.
* The custom fields created for this form can also be **displayed on other forms in parallel**, e.g. when editing personal data in [C3](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/setting-up-the-registration/basic-setup-of-the-registration/c3-the-login-area-for-attendees). This allows the person to **subsequently change** the **information.**
* The custom fields can **only** be inserted in the area between the last standard field of the contact address (country) and the separate billing addres&#x73;**.** Individual **additions between standard fields are not possible.**

## Management of collected data from custom fields in the backend

The information provided via additional fields can be viewed and processed at the following locations:

1. In the **personal data record** - if custom fields are available, these can be viewed in the *Additional fields* tab in the persons' data (Fig. 2).

2. In the **booking export** - in all Excel exports (except *Excel short list for bulk mail)* from the booking overview, a column is included for each answer option of the custom fields (Fig. 3).

{% hint style="info" %}
There is **no filter option** for custom fields **in backend overviews**. If, for example, all persons who are interested in local child care in an additional query are to be contacted, the recipient list must first be filtered in an Excel export from the booking overview.
