- Select the page template you'd like to display the custom field on. In this example we'll use the Product Detail template.
- Custom Product fields are commonly displayed on the Product Detail Template.
- Custom Category fields are commonly displayed on the Product List Template.
- Locate the appropriate zone for the custom field widget. The optimal location will depend on your layout.
- Click the 'Add Widget' button.
- Search for the required widget (for example 'Product Field' or 'Category Field' widget).
- Click the 'Add' button.
- The widget editing popup will appear for you to configure the options:
- Description - a descriptive reference for the Administrator on the layout page. This does not display on the front-end website.
- Layer - this widget can be rendered conditionally based on role or customer, or displayed under all conditions (All Pages).
- Product Field - select the new custom field from the drop-down list. The format will be the Field Name prefaced with 'CUS_'.
- Show Heading - tick this box to include a heading for this widget.
- Heading Text - the heading text displayed to the end user.
- Fallback Information - default text can be entered, to be displayed against products with no data in this field.
- Show Toggle - allows the content to be hidden by default, and displayed when the user clicks on the Heading.
- Show Inline Heading - allows the heading to be displayed in line with the field content (ignored when toggle is in use).
- Click 'Save'.

The custom field widget will now render on the relevant product template.
