This section allows the administrator to manage the article custom fields. The article custom fields are useful when you need to store additional information about the articles. For example, the articles may have such custom fields, as the language of the article, the safe audience rating, the country where the even occurred, etc. All custom fields will be automatically used in the Administrative Console, in the Article Management section. You will need to edit the theme templates for them to appear on the front-end.
<ul> 
<li> Field Id – this is a read-only field displaying the unique system ID of the custom field. 
<li> Field Name – sets the internal name of the custom field. This is the name you would use to refer to the custom field in the In-tags when designing templates. 
<li> Field Label – this is a read-only field, which displays the language variable name associated with the label of that field, and the value of the variable in the current language (after the colon). The label is used on the front end, and in the Administrative Console, to describe the field to the user who is entering information into it. 
<li> Show on the general tab – this setting controls whether the custom field will be also displayed on the General tab in the Administrative Console, when editing the articles. It is a short cut for frequently used custom fields. All settings below apply only when this is checked. 
<li> Heading – this field contains the language variable of the section heading, under which the field appear on the general tab. 
<li> Field Prompt – this field contains the language variable, which text will appear as the hint bind the field. 
<li> Input Type – this drop down allows the administrator to designate the type of the information stored in the custom field, by specifying the HTML control to be used on the General form. 
<li> List of Values – this field contains all choices for the above HTML controls of type ‘radio button' or ‘drop down'. The choices must be in the format: “value1 = language variabe1, value2=language variable2”. For example, to create a drop down with three choices (One, Two, Three) and their respective numerical values, this field would contain the following: “1=la_one,2=la_two,3=la_three).
