# Custom Fields

FieldEdge displays custom fields from your NationBuilder database on contact profiles. This lets your field team access and update campaign-specific data directly from the mobile app.

## Viewing Custom Fields

Custom fields appear on the **Personal** tab of a contact's [profile](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/people/profile.md). They are displayed below the standard contact information fields.

## Editing Custom Fields

To edit a custom field:

1. Open the contact's profile
2. Tap the **Edit** icon
3. Scroll to the custom fields section
4. Update the field value
5. Save your changes

Changes to custom fields sync back to NationBuilder in real time.
