Steps:
Navigate to “Forms” card and select the form you created.
Click on the 'Spanner' icon of the form to be attached.
Select level as 'Distribution Protocol Custom Fields' from the 'select level' drop-down
Click on 'Attach Form'.
Create DP Requirement level custom field
Similarly, you can also add custom fields at the DP requirements level.
At Order level
Often, you need to collect additional data with each Order. E.g., shipping address, MTA document, etc.
You can create a custom form with fields to be displayed on the 'create orders' page. This can be configured either at the system level or DP level.
Level | Description |
|---|---|
System | Default custom fields for all the DPs. |
DP | This overrides the system configuration. This is useful when you want to collect different data per DP. |

Order level custom fields can be queried using the query interface and displayed on the query results page.

If any custom fields have been configured, those fields will be displayed in the downloaded order report.
