Method 1:

• Start Template Manager (Sitecore» Template Manager);
  
• Doubleclick on a template – it will be opened in the Template Editor;

Expand the Data section in the Item tree on the left. You will see the list of fields of the Data template section.

  

Method 2:

• Select an item in the Content Editor;

Navigate to the Template section and select Edit Template.

• Template Editor will start.

1. Choose the section you want to add a field to.
   
2. Right-click on it and select Create a New Field

     3.   Enter the name of the new field and click OK.
