# Fields you can create

Fields are what make up your data grid and are what can be shown on list layouts and detail layouts. Decide what field types and the names of the field you want to create and add or remove from layouts. 

Add in new fields to your pages that are not yet created:

> Add a \*date field\* for the \*outstanding payments\* table

You can hide fields on your list layouts or detail layouts by asking the agent to hide the field

> Hide the \*Status\* field on the \*Lease\* layout. 

This will hide the field, but not delete it from the data grid and can be used in other places.
