Custom Fields

In addition to the standard additional fields, Citavi also provides you with nine Custom fields you can use to save information that doesn't fit in another field. You can edit the name of the custom field to make it clear what it contains.

Adding Custom Fields

1.In the Reference Editor, switch to the Reference tab.

2.Click More fields.

3.Select the checkboxes for the custom fields you want to appear on the Reference tab. If you don't select them, you can always use the More Fields window to access them. See Customizing the Reference Tab.

Editing a Custom Field

1.On the Reference tab, or in the More Fields window, click the current name of the custom field you want to edit.

2.Type a new name.

3.Select the Sort order for the field. You can choose from alphabetical order, by date, or by number.

4.The Default is the text you want to be automatically entered when you add a new reference. Changes to the default text only affect new references, not the contents of the field in existing references.

5.Select Show as list if you want the field to offer a drop-down list with autocomplete.

6.Click OK to finish.

Entering Text in a Custom Field

1.Switch to the Extras tab. (Or to the Reference tab if you added a custom field to that tab.)

2.Click in the custom field and type your text. If you selected Show as list, Citavi will automatically offer suggestions for previously used words and names. Press Tab or Enter to accept the suggestion, or keep typing or press Esc to reject the suggestion.
