# Custom Fields - Contacts: File

With the **SprintHub**, it is possible to create **custom fields** in Leads, tailored to your company's needs.

One of the most useful is the **field of the File type**, which allows attaching important documents related to the Lead, centralizing all information in one place.

### 📌 Step 1: Go to Settings

* Go to **System Settings** ⚙️.
* Click **Custom Fields - Leads**.
* Next, select **+ New** to create a new field.

### 📌 Step 2: Configure the Custom Field

Fill in the fields as needed:

* **First name** → Set the field name.\
  👉 *Example: "Client Documents"*
* **Alias** → Configure a shortened name for the field.\
  ⚠️ *Once created, it cannot be changed.*
* **Type** → Select **File**.
* **Default Value** → Automatically set after choosing the type.
* **Group** → Choose in which information group the field will be displayed.

### 📌 Step 3: Adjust the Extra Settings

* **Required?**
  * If **Yes** → the Lead can only be saved if the field is filled in.
  * If **No** → the Lead can be saved without initial filling, but can be updated later.
* **Unique Identifiers** → used to identify identical information in different Leads.

### 📌 Step 4: Save the Field

Click **Save and Close**.
