# Set Page Layouts for Ideas

When you create a custom field for Ideas, you can add it to the Additional Information section that appears on the Post Idea and Idea Detail pages.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.legacy_editions.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">View supported editions</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d36392e54">User Permissions
              Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d36392e54 ">To set the layout of a Ideas custom field: </td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d36392e54 ">Customize Application</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

You can specify the order in which a custom field appears in the Additional Information section as well as remove a custom field from these pages without permanently deleting the field from the system. Although it’s possible to move standard fields onto the page layout, by default they already appear in the Idea Detail section at the top of the page and their order is not customizable. However, you can drag the Status field to the Additional Information section to have the status of an idea appear in the page layout.

Note The label and layout of the Additional Information section can’t be customized.

1. From the object management settings for ideas, go to Page Layouts.
2. Click **Edit**.
3. Select a custom field from the box on the right and drag it to the Additional Information section. Custom fields appear in the order they are placed in the Additional Information section.
4. To display an idea's status to zone members, select the Status field and drag it to the Additional Information section.
5. To let users add files to ideas, select the Attachments field and drag it to the Additional Information section. Make sure you’ve set field-level security for your users.
6. Click **Save**.
