Object Types

Custom fields can be associated with three primary object types in Ashby.

Candidate	These fields are used to capture details specific to individual candidates. They appear on the Summary tab of the candidate profile.
Job	These fields are used to capture details specific to individual jobs. They appear on the Settings page of a job.
Offer	These fields are used to capture details about an offer. They appear on the offer activity that appears when a candidate is in the offer stage.
Opening	These fields are used to capture details specific to individual openings. They appear at the bottom of the opening form.

Candidate Custom Fields

<aside> ☝ When adding in a custom field for candidates, the new field will be added to the Summary tab of their profiles, ready for you to fill out. Newly created custom fields will be retroactively added to existing candidate profiles, as well as new ones.

Field Type (see options above)

Show in Chrome Extension?: If checked, the field will be accessible in the Chrome extension and within Ashby.

Find candidate custom fields on the candidate profile

Once created, candidate custom fields will appear on the Summary tab of the candidate profile. These fields can also be used:

In email templates as custom tokens
In the interview briefing as custom viewable fields
In searches and reports

Job Custom Fields

<aside> ☝ Custom fields can be created to add additional internal information about a job. Just as with a candidate, you can fill in the field title, add a description and pick a field type for data input. With a job custom field, you have the additional field type option of a number range.
