**Customer Extension Data** fields relate directly to fields in a customized template. If you do not have customized templates with key/value pairs you can modify, you do not need to configure or use this feature.

If you want to create customized templates that use key/value pairs for some settings, contact [Adaptiva Customer Support](https://www.adaptiva.com/support).
