# Custom properties

The following custom properties can be added to reports:

* [Text](#text)
* [Choice](#choice)
* [True and False](#true-and-false)
* [Date](#date)

### Text

The *Text* property allows users to input unique values. For example, if a project manager needs to initial a report or if the report requires other types of text entry, you might consider adding a report field using the *Text* property.

### Choice

The *Choice* property allows users to select from a pre-defined set of choices in a drop-down menu. For example, a contractor might populate three construction types for report creators to choose from: New, Remodel, Demolition. Input would be confined to one of these selections.

### True and False

The *True and False* property allows users to set a simple "yes/no" variable in reports. For example, if a report creator needs to indicate whether a project is new or ongoing, or if something is present or absent, the *True and False* property can help display that information quickly.

### Date

The *Date* property allows users to set a custom date field, giving report creators access to a calendar interface for easy and accurate date entry.
