User Fields

Fields can be added to the Users object and are often used to support processes in an organization.

Because the Users object plays such an important role in the platform and is embedded in many processes, very little modification of the Users object is permitted.

It is possible to add fields to the Users object, which will appear in the User record.

These custom fields can be used in:

• Default Value in Fields
• Data Policy
• Validations
• Display Criteria when Cloning a Form Layout
• Layout Rules

Users that have the Customize Objects permission can define custom fields for documents

Considerations

• A maximum of 10 custom fields can be created
• Fields can be reordered
• Fields are accessed while creating/updating a user record

Add a Field

1. Click Designer > Global Resources > System Objects > Users
2. Choose one of the following options:

• Click the [New Field] button to add a new Field
• Click the [Reorder] button to change the order of the fields

The added field(s) appear in the Additional Information Section of the user record.

Reorder Fields

To reorder fields:

1. Click Designer > Global Resources > System Objects > Users
2. Click the [Reorder Fields] button, and use the Arrow Buttons to change the order of the fields
