After creating a custom field, you may Delete it or Edit it to change the following:

Note:

You can include the custom fields in the available Employee reports from Jisr.

Open the Headcount Report for example, then click on the "Customize Columns" button.

From the side window, select the custom fields as needed, according to their assigned names and categories.
