What are custom user fields?

Custom Fields can be created on User Accounts.  Custom fields are often used to store unique Trainee information such as an Employee ID.  Custom Fields appear in the User grid on the Manage Users page and can appear on the self-registration pages for courses.

To create a Custom field, go to Users from the left navigation pane and click on the Set Up button.

Select Custom Fields.  

1. Add your first custom field by click on the "Add Custom Fields" link
2. Name your custom field
3. Click Apply for the field to be saved

You can edit these custom fields any time by clicking on the pencil icon.  Customers on the Standard tier can use 1 custom field.  Premium and Enterprise Accounts can create up to 10 custom fields.

Custom fields can be displayed and/or made required on the self-registration page and the order can be selected by dragging the fields. Click "Show" or "Hide" to display the custom field on the self registration page.  With "Show" selected, you can select "Required" to enforce the trainee to enter information into the field.

You have the option of uploading custom field information as part of your User Excel Upload. Please make sure to first create the custom field as noted above and then include a column in your spreadsheet with the custom field information.
