Custom fields let you add extra buttons and information to your locations, showing only where you need them. Add a "Book Now" button linking to your scheduling system, a "View Menu" link for restaurants, social media icons like LinkedIn or YouTube, secondary phone numbers for specific departments, or display pricing and availability info right on your location cards.
Custom fields display additional information on locations like buttons, text, and phone numbers. They're for showing data, not filtering. If you want customers to filter locations by category or feature, use tags and filters instead.
Field Types
Button
Adds a clickable button to your locations that links to a webpage. You set up the button once (choose a label like "Book Now" and pick a color), then for each location you enter the web address it should link to. When customers click the button, it opens that page. Buttons appear alongside the Directions button on location cards.
Common uses include booking or reservation pages, restaurant menus, product pages, job application forms, or individual location pages on your website.
Text / Additional Info
Displays text information with an optional label. Use this for pricing info, availability status, square footage, appointment requirements, or any additional details you want to show on location cards.
Phone Number
Adds an extra clickable phone number to your locations. The number appears in the contact section and opens the phone dialer when tapped. Useful for fax numbers, support lines, department-specific numbers, or after-hours contacts.
Social / Icon Link
Adds a clickable icon that links to a URL. Choose from popular platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, and more. The icon link only appears on locations where you enter a URL.
Creating Custom Fields
Custom fields are created once for your locator, then you fill in values for each location.
- Go to Custom Fields in your dashboard
- Click Add A Custom Field
- Enter a Field Name (this is your internal reference)
- Select a Field Type from the dropdown
- Fill in additional options based on type:
- Button: Set the Button Label (what customers see) and optionally a Button Color
- Text: Set the Field Label that appears before the value
- Phone: Set the Field Label that appears before the number
- Social/Icon Link: Select an icon from the dropdown
- Click Save Changes
You can drag fields to reorder them. The order here determines how they appear on your location cards.
Adding Values to Locations
Once you've created your custom fields, they automatically appear when you add or edit locations.
- Go to Manage Locations
- Click on any location (or add a new one)
- You'll see your custom fields in the sidebar under "Custom Fields"
- Fill in values for the fields that apply to this location
- Save the location
A field only appears on locations where you've entered a value. This means you can create multiple buttons or fields and use them selectively. For example, add a "Book Now" button only to locations that accept reservations, or show pricing info only where it applies. Just leave the field empty for locations that don't need it.
Import and Sync
Custom fields work with CSV import and Google Sheets sync. Once you've created your custom fields in the dashboard, they automatically get their own columns when you download a location template or export your locations.
To get a spreadsheet with your custom field columns included, download a fresh template from the Google Sheets Sync or Import page. You can also export your existing locations to see how values are currently formatted.
For button and icon fields, enter the full URL in the spreadsheet. The labels and styling come from your field configuration. For text and phone fields, just enter the value directly.
