How do I create and manage Custom Fields in my Grants and Grantee data?

Custom Fields are useful in storing additional information about your Grants and Grantees

Written by Alexandra Pittman

In addition to standard Grant and Grantee fields like Name, Country or Status, ImpactMapper supports custom fields. These fields can be used when importing data into ImpactMapper, and are useful in storing additional information about your Grants and Grantees. For example, you might want to track your grants using an additional "Municipal Grant Number".

Custom Fields can also be used in analysis and charting. Data in these fields, just like the rest of the Grants and Grantee level are stored at organizational level so any changes to these fields will carry across to other projects. Any new fields and data they contained will be available in all Analysis Projects within the Organization.

Please note that custom fields are not supported everywhere in ImpactMapper and can not be used to sort or filter data in the Grants tables at this time.

To Add a Custom Field, visit your Organization settings and add a field under the "Custom Fields" heading:

Please note that you might need administrator-level permissions within your account to be able to make changes to your particular organization.

Once you've added your custom fields, they will be available for both editing and viewing in the Grants table (filtering or sorting not supported at this time):
