New Fields are created from the middle section of the Field Administration screen. Functionality has been included to help make sure you do not create duplicate fields.
1. Click the New button 
next to Available Fields to create a new field.
2. A new screen will be shown with a list of all currently existing fields of the selected type:
This screen will allow you to see if you already have a field that resembles the field you are trying to create. This will help you avoid creating the same field multiple times. The fields shown in the list have checkboxes to show their properties.
3. If you change the Type shown, you will see other fields in the list and can filter them further as needed to make sure you don't create a duplicate field.
4. If you start to type the name of the field you want to create in the Name field, you will see that the list of fields will start to filter. This will narrow down the existing fields further for you.
5. If you still do not see a field that meets your requirements, you can complete the name and click the Create button.
The Field will now be visible on the left:
Once the field has been created, the properties for the field need to be set.
