This feature is available to Enterprise customers.
:::

To help organize and sort scenarios, you can use custom scenario properties to add customizable metadata. The properties you create appear on the scenario detail page and also in sortable columns in a table view of your scenario. You can add as many custom properties as you like and edit which properties appear in your table view.

All organization members can view and use custom scenario properties. This includes using custom properties to filter the table view of scenarios.

For all properties, you can define the following:

- **Name** - a descriptive name used as a unique identifier that only appears when you manage your custom properties.
- **Label** - the name visible on the table view and detail page.
- **Hint text** - a short message you add to help your organization members use your custom property.
- **Field type** - the property type. For example, dropdown or boolean.
- **Required** - select **Yes** to make a property mandatory to include when applying custom properties to a scenario.

Custom scenario properties support the following field types:

- **Short text** - up to 200 characters; useful for email addresses and URLs.
- **Long text** - up to 1,000 characters; supports multiple lines.
- **Number** - supports integers.
- **Boolean** - a yes/no value that appears as radio buttons.
- **Date** - date and time according to [ISO 8601.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)
- **Dropdown** - a list of items where users can select only one.
- **Multichoice** - a list of items where users can select multiple values.
