We will start at fields. It seems turned around. You might feel we must start at the component, and then build the views, then build the fields. [00:19:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h19m24s) After having created the component, you can click your own admin views. The first thing you need to create is the admin views. Click new and create an admin view. Again it is just like it was with the component; you are able to set the bare bone information. I usually start at the bottom, and work my way up. [00:20:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h20m02s) I create all the fields, and when I see that there are duplicate fields, I remove them because I know that we had used them. I create fields which I know to be unique. When I come to certain fields, I won't create them initially, like these custom fields. [00:20:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h20m42s) I would separate the custom fields. How do I know it's a custom field? Because the preacher is. I want to pull IDs from the preacher view and mark those custom fields again. I want this field to link to that name; a list of those names. [00:21:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h21m45s) The same goes for the series.
### Creating Normal Fields and Back End Views.
### Creating Normal Fields and Back End Views
In Joomla you can create what is known as custom fields. Component Builder makes provision for you to do so. This is what I would call an advanced field. We will look at advanced custom fields after we've looked at creating normal fields and creating actual back end views. [00:22:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h22m15s) Only then will you understand the implementation of this custom field since it will be linking to back end views value. It is not just linking to a bunch of values, it is linking directly to this back end views value called name, so we can't really create it until we know how this is going to look.
