To create custom fields, click Configure Custom Fields, (or click File > Preferences > Custom Fields, or press Ctrl+Comma) which will open the Custom Fields page in Preferences. (Pro or Enterprise mode is required to view, create, and edit Custom Fields.)
Within the Custom Fields page of the Computer window, each custom field will be listed along with its value. To edit the value, click the Value field. Additionally, data can be imported directly from a .csv file. For importing instructions, see this knowledge base article.
