user-defined vs. custom

German translation: benutzerdefiniert vs. kundenspezifisch

Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software
English term or phrase: user-defined vs. custom
The drop-down menu in a software window has three options: standard functions, user-defined functions and custom functions. Does someone have any idea what may be the difference between "user-defined" and "custom"? Both translate as "benutzerdefiniert" in German, but in the given context they are clearly not interchangeable.

A query with the client has produced no useful answer, alas.
