# Household Block Field

## Household Block Field

The Household (or Organisation) block can be selected to be displayed on a person's Profile page. By default it is displayed in the right-hand column.

The fields displayed within the Household block are selected and arranged to suit the needs of your organisation.

For example, you may wish to have displayed for every profile that displays the Household block, fields such as: Salutation, Date of Brith, Allergy or First Contact.

### Setting up Household block fields

1. Navigate to **Administration** and select **Custom fields**, and then **Household block fields** ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d198920d-a212-4177-85f9-e1abc92e7ab3/Images/Documentation/image%28705%29.png)
2. Once the Household Block Fields page is displayed you'll see there are two two areas:
  1. the upper area containing the fields currently displayed in the block, and
  2. the lower area providing the option of adding additional or alternative fields to the upper area list.
