# Split Email/WWW Field

This Global Change will allow a PCRecruiter Admin user to separate the “Predefined: Email/WWW Address” field, located on Company Records, to two designated Custom fields. This split will happen based on if the value of the field is an Email Address or a Website.

## Create a Custom Company Field

The first step to using this global change is to create the custom fields which your data will be moved into.

1. Select **System** from the Main Toolbar
2. Select**Custom Fields**
3. From the Custom Fields menu, choose **Company Custom Fields**
4. Choose **Add** to create your custom field, be sure to add this to your Company Layout for easy accessibility (Visit our Learning Center to learn more about creating custom fields)

## Execute the Split Global Change

Now that your fields are created you are ready to run the Global Change

1. Select **System** from the Main Toolbar
2. Select **Global Change**
3. Choose **Split Company Email/WWW Field**
4. Use the dropdowns to designate where you would like your Email values and Website values copied to ![](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/Split-company.www-1.png)
5. Check **Modify Only Empty Fields** to not overwrite existing data in the custom fields (In cases where the field is already populated, no change will occur)
6. Select **Run** when you are ready to perform the action (This will take a few minutes and varies greatly depending on database size)

Once this change has been run, return to a company record with the Email/WWW Address field populated, you will see the value can now be seen in the desired Custom field based on the value type (Email vs. Web Address).
