Creating Custom Roster Fields

This article covers how to add custom fields that will be displayed on your member profiles. For administrators with sports organizations in TeamSnap, custom fields can be created at the team level or at the organization level. Team-level custom fields apply to that specific team's roster only, while organization-level custom fields apply across the organization.

Custom Roster Fields for Teams

Administrators have the option to create flexible custom fields to capture roster information that isn’t already baked into the system.

1. Log in to TeamSnap.com
2. Enter your team site
3. Click the Manager tab
4. Click the Custom Fields tab

Once the information for those fields has been filled out, either by manual entry for each profile under Optional Player Details or completed via roster import, administrators can view the information for these fields on each roster profile or by pulling a roster export at the team level. Currently, the full roster list view cannot be customized to display custom fields.
