Custom Form Fields for Workloads and Workload Templates

Custom forms allow you to add new fields to existing forms in flair. These simple steps explain how.

We’ve added support for custom forms in workloads and workload templates in flair. In just a few steps, you can add new fields to these records using Page Layouts in Salesforce.

  1. In the flair HR app, open the AppLauncher 𓃑 and search for Employee Workload Templates.
  2. Click on the workload template you wish to modify. Now click the gear icon ⚙ and select Edit Object. This will open a new tab in the Salesforce Setup Object Manager.

Please note, in order for this custom form to work, the Page Layout Name must be exactly CustomFormLayout (with no spaces and the first letter of each word capitalized).
