The Custom Fields settings page lets you extend Evenpay's data model with fields specific to your organization. Navigate there via Settings → Custom Fields.
Overview
Custom fields are additional data points you can attach to records when Evenpay's standard fields don't capture everything your organization needs. They appear alongside standard fields on the relevant record pages and can be used for tracking, filtering, and — depending on the field type — as variables in pay gap regression analysis.
Custom fields are available for six record types:
Record type | Use case |
Employee | Additional attributes for individual employees beyond the standard fields |
Position | Additional metadata for job positions |
Job Level | Custom metadata for job levels in your career framework |
Job Grade | Custom metadata for job grades |
Job Family | Custom metadata for job families (functional groupings) |
Organisation Unit | Custom metadata for departments and organisational units |
Creating a custom field
Click + Add Field next to the relevant record type. A dialog will appear with the following options:
Name — the label for the field as it will appear on records (e.g. "Employee Height").
Description (optional) — a brief note explaining what the field represents.
Field Type — the type of data the field holds (see below).
Apply To — the record type this field will be added to (e.g. Employee, Position).
Click Create to save the field. It will then appear on all records of the selected type.
Field types
Field type | Description | Usable in regression analysis |
Number | A numeric value (e.g. years of experience, a score) | ✓ Yes |
Single Select | A dropdown with one selectable option from a predefined list | ✓ Yes |
Multi Select | A dropdown allowing multiple selections from a predefined list | ✓ Yes |
Text | A free-text string (e.g. a code, an identifier) | — |

Rich Text | Formatted text with support for basic styling | — |
Tip: If you intend to use a custom field as a pay factor in regression analysis, choose Number, Single Select, or Multi Select. These structured types can be included as variables when running pay gap analysis in Evenpay. Text, Yes/No, and Rich Text fields are not available for regression analysis.
