Custom Fields

Each practice is unique! You may need to record additional data for clients and patients that is not already in Vetspire. In More > Admin > Configure > Custom Fields, you can create custom client and patient information fields that are completed when adding a new profile. Additionally, you can create custom appointment information fields that display on the Schedule Appointment window when booking a patient through Schedule or Patient Chart.

Custom fields are not required when creating a new client or patient or when creating an appointment.
