Adding extra fields to the personnel file

In this article we’ll explain how to add fields to the personnel files.

Updated today

In addition to the standard fields, HoorayHR offers the option to add additional fields for information you need as a company. These could be fields for contact information, specific appointments or other company-related data.

Adding fields to the personnel file

Follow these steps to add extra fields:

  1. Via Colleagues, open an employee's profile.

  2. Below the emergency contact details, you will find the Manage extra fields button. Click this to manage the fields.

  3. In the pop-up window, you can click + Add to add a new field. You can choose from different types of fields, such as text, numbers, date or multiple choice. Enter the name of the field and choose the appropriate type.

  4. After adding the field, it appears under the Extra information section on the employee's profile. You can now enter data for this field.

Good to know: If you add an extra field in one profile, this field is immediately available for all profiles in the environment. The field can then be filled in individually for each employee.

This also applies when you delete a field: you then delete it for all employees. This cannot be undone.

Adding and organising sections

To better organise fields, you can add sections. This helps put related information into groups.

  1. As described above, open an employee's profile.

  2. Click the Manage extra fields button again .

  3. Click Add section to create a new section. Give the section a name and click Add.

  4. You can easily change the order of fields and sections by clicking on the section or field and dragging it to the desired place.

Manage viewing and editing rights

When adding a field, you can always specify who can view and edit the field. This can be for the employee himself (e.g. pension scheme), or only for administrators and team leaders ( or everyone in the company.

Extra fields in profile overview and Excel export

All extra fields are also visible on the profile overview. In addition, you can easily export these fields for a total overview. You can read more about this here.
