Custom Data
Define custom fields and objects to extend Fleetwise data models for your organisation's needs.
The custom data manager lets Workspace Admins extend Fleetwise's standard data model with custom fields and objects. Use it to capture organisation-specific information that does not fit into the default fields.
Accessing Custom Data
Navigate to Settings → Custom Data in the workspace header navigation.
Custom Fields
Custom fields add extra data points to existing entities (vehicles, requests, allocations, etc.).
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display label for the field |
| Type | Data type — text, number, date, dropdown, boolean, etc. |
| Entity | Which entity the field is attached to |
| Required | Whether the field must be filled in |
| Default Value | Optional default when creating new records |
Creating a Custom Field
Click Add Field
Click the + Add Field button.
Configure the Field
Select the target entity, enter the field name, choose the data type, and set any constraints (required, default value, dropdown options).
Save
Click Save to make the field available. It appears on the relevant entity forms and detail pages across all projects.
Custom Objects
Custom objects let you define entirely new data types that can be linked to existing entities.
Advanced Feature
Custom objects are an advanced feature. Most teams can meet their needs with custom fields alone. Use custom objects when you need to track a separate collection of records linked to vehicles, requests, or work packages.
Tips
- Plan your custom fields before creating them — changing field types after data has been entered can cause data loss.
- Use descriptive names so all team members understand what each field captures.
- Keep the number of required custom fields manageable — too many slow down form completion.
- Custom fields apply workspace-wide. If a field is only relevant to one project, consider using vehicle tags or request comments instead.
