Custom Fields allow you to add your own fields to categories, products, customer records as well as other things. It’s a powerful tool built into the Miva admin and there are virtually unlimited ways you can use this functionality.
Custom Fields is already installed in Miva, but it is considered a module, and it’s a part of the Shadows framework.
