Using scheduling tracking fields in zoom app
You can schedule tracking fields in your organization so you can analyze usage of those fields by a variety of different fields within a company. During the scheduling process, tracking fields consist of a label or value that can be chosen based on the schedule. When users on your account schedule meetings through the Zoom web portal or desktop client using Zoom software, you can specify whether tracking fields need to be filled out by them or not. A tracking field can be added to an account up to a maximum of ten times.
