Custom member fields

Web Owner · Admin

Custom fields let you record information Avex doesn’t have a built-in field for — shirt size, locker number, goals, injury notes, a parent’s contact for a youth member.

There is no separate screen for defining custom fields. They’re created as part of a CSV import, then filled in and edited directly on member records.

Creating fields

Custom fields are defined during CSV import.

Include your extra columns in the CSV

Add a column for each piece of information you want to track — shirt_size, locker, goal, whatever fits your gym.

Upload and map

During the mapping step, columns that don’t match a built-in Avex field can be created as custom fields.

Confirm the import

The fields now exist on every member record.

Filling them in afterward

Once a field exists, staff edit its value on any member record — you don’t need another import to populate someone.

Where they appear

On the member record, alongside built-in details
On the member form when editing someone
In CSV export, so what you track comes back out

Common uses

Shirt or apparel size
Locker or key fob number
Goal or focus area
Injury notes and restrictions
Referral detail beyond the standard source list
Guardian contact for youth members

Notes

Custom fields are per-gym. Yours are yours.
Plan the set before your first import. Adding fields later is easiest through another import, so it’s worth deciding what you want to track up front.
Members don’t see or edit custom fields — these are staff-facing.
