# Custom Fields in Client View

Current FileWave versions let you add inventory fields, including custom fields, to Client View.

## Steps to add new fields

1. From Client View, press **Customize Columns**.
2. Press **Add Inventory Field** for advanced inventory options.
3. Select an inventory field, including a custom field if needed.

<p class="callout info">After you add an inventory field, it still appears the next time you open the Select Inventory UI.  
  
If you select a field that is already in Client View, FileWave closes the selector. Open it again and choose a field that has not already been added.</p>

<p class="callout info">The Select Inventory Fields UI has fewer fields than QueryBuilder because Client View only supports direct 1:1 inventory fields.</p>

<p class="callout danger">Hiding the built-in **IP** column and adding **Inventory: All Devices / IP Address Column** does not change which IP address Client Monitor uses.</p>
