Custom fields can be added to forms in several ways. Typically when adding a custom field as a control, the custom field is active in another location in CAREWare other than the form. The custom field is activated as a custom subform fields, custom annual review field, a custom service field, etc. The data entry for those custom fields is determined by factors associated with those custom field locations. In the case of a Custom Form Custom Field control, the custom field is being activated for the Form Designer form itself and the data is located in that form for the client. This is a useful customization when custom fields should be unique to the forms themselves rather than data pointed entered elsewhere in CAREWare.
