# Add seminar custom fields

While the default seminar activity is sufficient for some use cases, you may want to add [custom fields](/totara-20/docs/seminar-custom-fields) in order to display or collect different information.

To add a custom field, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Seminars > Custom fields*.
2. Select the relevant form or element tab (**Event**, **Asset**, **Facilitator, Room**, **Sign-up**, **User** **cancellation** or **Event** **cancellation**).
3. Select the required field type from the **Create a new custom** **field** dropdown menu.
4. Complete the [settings](/totara-20/docs/seminar-custom-field-settings) as required.
5. Click **Save**.

All custom fields linked to an element or form will be listed within the corresponding tab.

Custom fields added to a form or element will appear in the corresponding page or form across the site, including all pre-existing events, rooms and assets.
