How do I create custom logbook fields in my logbook spreadsheet template?

You can add custom fields to the ForeFlight Logbook Template (CSV file) available here:

plan.foreflight.com/logbook

You will want to replace any of the custom field areas entitled "Custom_(Field Name)" with your own custom field. The supported formats for a custom field are as follows:

Text: [Text]CustomFieldName

Numeric: [Numeric]CustomFieldName

Hours: [Hours]CustomFieldName

Counter: [Counter]CustomFieldName

Date: [Date]CustomFieldName

DateTime: [DateTime]CustomFieldName

Toggle: [Toggle]CustomFieldName

Numeric entries provide a keyboard with a decimal point for the entry of numbers. The Counter entry allows for choosing whole numbers using a button to increase or decrease the value. The Hours entry is used to enter time in the HH;MM, or decimal format. The Toggle entry has an on/off switch for that field.

When adding a custom field, the text enclosed in "[ ]" needs to be typed exactly as seen above and is case-sensitive. For example, "[Text]" is correct, but "[text]" is not correct.

Here is an example of how to create a custom field. If you would like a field for noting what type of glider launch was used, you could use the [Text]CustomFieldName" format like this:

[Text]Launch Type
