Extensions & Custom Fields

Extensions let you add custom properties (fields) to any object type. They are defined in a content pack and activated/deactivated as a unit.

What Are Extensions?

An extension is a named custom field attached to a specific object type. Once activated, it appears on the Overview tab of every object of that type.

Example extensions:

Compliance Status (select: compliant / non-compliant / in-progress) on Application objects
Annual Cost (number, USD) on Technology objects
Data Classification (select: public / internal / confidential / restricted) on Data Objects

Activating an Extension

Go to Settings → Content Packs
Find the pack that contains the extension you want
Click Activate on the pack
The custom fields immediately appear on relevant objects

Field Types

Type	Description
`text`	Single-line or multi-line text
`select`	Dropdown from a predefined list of values
`number`	Numeric value with optional unit
`date`	Date picker
`boolean`	Yes/No toggle
`url`	URL with clickable link rendering
`email`	Email address with mailto link

Creating Custom Extensions (Admin)

Custom extensions for your organization’s objects are created by building a content pack. See Content Packs for details.

Managing Active Extensions

Deactivating a content pack hides its extensions but does not delete the field values stored on objects. Reactivate the pack to restore visibility.
