# Create Employee Field

#### Create new Employee Field

Creating new Employee Field is simple. In Employee Fields listing, click "New". Input the name for the field and select the type. Select the type of your field. You can always select "Text" but selecting "Email" or "Date" will help Introist to better validate your employee data.

If your field name is long, you might want to adjust the fields "key" which is simplified name for the field. You might already add options for the new field but that can also be done later by modifying the field.\
Finally, click Create and the new field is created. Your field is now ready to be used in Workflows and Triggers!<br>
