How to create or edit custom questions for your document in WaiverSign

Custom fields let you add custom questions to your WaiverSign documents, such as t-shirt size, dietary restrictions, or emergency contacts. You can manage all custom fields from Settings > Custom Fields.

Creating Custom Fields

Custom fields can be added from the Custom Fields section while editing a document, or from Settings > Custom Fields. The following field types are available:

Text: A short response field.
Text Area: A longer text response field.
Checkbox: Choose multiple options from a list.
List: Choose a single option from a dropdown.

Information collected in custom fields is not encrypted. Do not use custom fields to collect sensitive information like social security numbers or credit card numbers.

After creating your fields, go to Create & Edit Documents, select your document, and turn on each custom field you want to include. Save and publish your document to apply the changes.

Custom fields appear across all of your documents, set to "Do Not Display" by default. Use the dropdown on each field to set it as "Required", "Optional", or "Do Not Display" for that document.

Editing Custom Fields

Go to Settings > Custom Fields and select the field you want to edit. Any changes you make will apply across all documents where that field is turned on.

Removing Custom Fields

To remove a custom field entirely, go to Settings > Custom Fields and click the trash icon next to the field you want to delete.

Animated walkthrough of deleting a custom field from Settings

Deleting a custom field removes it from all of your documents. If you only want to remove it from a specific document, go to Create & Edit Documents > (Document Name) > Custom Fields and set the field to "Do Not Display". Save and publish the document to update.
