 fields are used to store additional unique information about a contact, client or employee that is not held anywhere else in the system (for example, MYOB Password, ABN/ACN (Australia), IRD/ BALMTH (New Zealand) and DOB (Date of Birth)) in your database. The value for an Extra Field has to be entered for each contact, client or employee; you do not select from a pre-defined list.
