Menus, Visibility and Custom Fields
VYROX Wiki · Updated 23 September 2026 · https://www.vyrox.com/wiki/countserva-menus-and-custom-fields
Menus & Visibility and Custom Fields in CountServa let you shape the workspace to your business. Menus & Visibility decides which sidebar menus and menu items appear, so staff see only the modules you use. Custom Fields add your own extra boxes to contacts, items, invoices, bills and employees, for information CountServa does not capture by default, such as a project code or a vehicle number. Both are used by the company owner or whoever manages Setup.
Both screens are under Settings: Settings > Menus & Visibility and Settings > Custom Fields.
Menus & Visibility
Hiding a menu only changes what you see. Nothing is deleted, and you can switch anything back on at any time. The choice applies to your organisation's sidebar and the module launchpad.
Show or Hide Menus
Go to Settings > Menus & Visibility.
Tick a menu card to show it, or untick it to hide it. Ticking or unticking the menu heading ticks or unticks all of its items.
Inside a menu, untick individual items to hide just those.
Use Show Everything or Hide Everything to change every box at once.
Press Save Menu Visibility. Changes take effect on your next page load.
Return to the Recommended Default
Press Reset to Recommended Default and confirm.
New businesses start on the recommended setup for a Sdn Bhd company: Point of Sale, Memberships and Campaigns are hidden until you need them. Those menus carry an Off by Default tag on this screen.
Custom Fields
Add a Custom Field
Go to Settings > Custom Fields.
In the Add Field panel, choose the Entity: Contact, Item, Invoice, Bill or Employee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hiding a Menu Hide It for Everyone?
Yes, the setting is per organisation. People who still have the rights can reach the screen by a saved link, so use roles to restrict access.
Why Is Point of Sale Missing From My Sidebar?
It is off by default for new businesses. Tick it in Settings > Menus & Visibility and press Save Menu Visibility.
Can I Rename a Custom Field?
The screen offers adding and deleting only. Deleting removes stored values, so plan labels carefully before you start using a field.
What Happens if a Required Field Is Left Blank?
The record cannot be saved and CountServa names the missing field.
