Easily find a custom field

Having over 100 custom fields in CiviCRM is not terribly unusual.

But then, how do you find the one you're looking for, when it might be scattered across 30 or 40 custom field groups?

The administration UI for custom fields begins with the list of all your custom field groups, but you still have to open each group to see what fields are in it. So it’s not always easy to find any given custom field.

What if you could make it easier?

Here’s how it looks by default:

And here’s how it could look, with one small change to your CiviCRM config:

You can get these benefits simply by enabling the “AdminUI” extension in CiviCRM. It’s disabled by default, but you should see it in the list of available extensions.

Then you can easily find whatever custom fields you’re looking for. (You’ll also get similar improvements in some other admin pages within CiviCRM.)

All the best,
