# Custom Fields

You can create a custom field in Quantify, and then apply this custom field in a report.

### Creating the Report

Once we have created the custom column, we will need to configure a report to include that column.

**Note: This is an example, you are free to modify the Report to how you wish it to appear**

1. Open **Report** **Designer,** select **Shipment** on the left and click **Add**.

As we need to add a column, we need to expand the width of the report. To do this we need to change the report to landscape mode.

2. Select the **Page** tab

3. Click the **Orientation** drop-down and select **Landscape**.

This will change the report to landscape mode.

We will need to add a column to the **LblRentProducts** table.

4. To create the column, right-click inside a cell, for example the **Description** cell, hover over **Insert** and select **Insert Cell**

5. Change the column to “Country”.

6. Add another cell below.

7. Click inside the new cell and select the arrow icon.

8. Select the **Data** **Binding** drop-down and locate the field (you will find this under **ShipmentProductProducts**).
