Overview
Custom fields are needed if they are not provided in our reserved list for each object. Once you create a custom field, it will only capture the new data that you send. For example, if you were trying to send us a custom field for a week, and then created it, we will not have that previous weeks data stored in our database.
When uploading data for custom fields please use the Tag Name. If you are not sure what the tag name is, go to your ⚙️-> Data Management -> Objects & Fields in your Zaius account.
