Creating User Custom Fields

Add user custom fields to the User Profile for display on the User Details screen of every user.

When you create a user custom field, any enterprise users with access to the Edit User screen can enter information in the field (by default this ability is limited to Administrators). User custom fields display in the User Details screen and in User reports.

For example, you could add a "Hired On" field that displays the date a user was hired.

Note: You can add a total of 25 custom text fields and 25 custom numeric fields to the User Details screen. Text fields include pick list, date, status, and yes/no field types. Numeric fields include integer, currency, and decimal field types. For more information, see Custom Field Maximums. (opens in popup)

To create user custom fields:

On the Administration Home page, under User Settings, click User Custom Fields.
The User Custom Fields screen displays.
Click New Custom Field.
The Create Custom Field Wizard displays in a new window.

The process of creating a custom field involves several steps in the wizard. You may not go through every step. Aggregate type fields are not an option for User custom fields.
