What are custom user fields?

Custom User Fields allow you to store additional information on user accounts, such as an Employee ID or other organization-specific details.

Custom fields appear in the Manage Users grid and can also be displayed on course self-registration pages.

1. From the left navigation menu, click Users.
2. Click Set Up in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Custom Fields.
4. Click Add Custom Field.
5. Enter a name for the custom field.
6. Click Apply to save the field.

Edit a Custom User Field

To update an existing custom field, click the pencil icon next to the field.

Custom Field Limits

The number of custom fields available depends on your subscription plan:

Display Custom Fields on the Self-Registration Page

You can choose whether a custom field appears on the self-registration page and whether completing it is required.

1. Open Users > Set Up > Custom Fields.
2. For the desired field, select Show to display it on the self-registration page.
3. To make the field mandatory, enable Required.
4. Drag and drop fields to change the order in which they appear.

Import Custom Field Data Using Excel

You can populate custom field values when bulk uploading users from an Excel spreadsheet.

Before uploading:

1. Create the custom field in Trakstar Learn.
2. Add a column to your Excel file with the same custom field information.
3. Upload your spreadsheet as part of the user import process.

If the custom field exists in your account, Trakstar Learn will map the data during the upload process.
