# Employee Center: Custom
## The Custom section of the Employee Center stores additional information about your employee that is not recorded elsewhere in the system. This information is not required and can be recorded at your discretion.
[Navigate to Custom](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/employee-center-custom#navigate)

- [Viewing Permissions](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/employee-center-custom#viewing-permissions)
[Custom Fields Reports](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/employee-center-custom#reports)
**Custom Fields** can be used to denote various company-related items. For example, you can note sizing for custom company apparel, food restrictions, the expiration date of a permit or license, additional languages spoken by employees, and employee age.
### Navigate to Custom
Find the Custom page by navigation to **HR Admin (module) → Manage Employees → Employee Center → select  Employee → Information (tab) → Custom (tab)**.
### Setting Up Custom Fields
While the Employee Center Custom page stores your custom information, the Custom Fields must be set up separately. To create a new Custom Field or manage an existing one, navigate to **Company (module) → Company Setup → EE Custom Fields**.
**More Info:** Learn more about [Setting Up Custom Fields](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/all-about-custom-fields-in-checkwriters?hsLang=en). For further assistance, please contact Checkwriters Client Support at [support@checkwriters.com](mailto:support@checkwriters.com).
#### Viewing Permissions
When setting up Custome Fields, you must select whether employees can enter information into these fields themselves. If you allow this, employees will be able to see the Custom Fields information in their Employee Self-Service (ESS). If you do not allow this, only users with access to the **HR Admin**, **EE Custom Fields**, or the **Report Writer** will be able to see Custom Fields information.
### Custom Fields Reports
Administrators can view all Custom Field information for all employees by setting up a **Report Writer** in the **Reporting module**. The report can then be run as often as needed. For help building a Report Writer, contact Checkwriters Client Support at [support@checkwriters.com](mailto:support@checkwriters.com).
