Managing Custom Fields

Custom fields store optional information about a user, such as department or parking space
assignment. They also have the option of being a text object, such as a user's job title, or
an image object, such as a user's signature. You can define an unlimited number of custom
fields for an account, and each can hold up to 32 alpha-numeric characters. Custom field
labels are the same throughout your account. For example, if you name a custom field
"Department" it will appear as Department on all pages, for every user in the account.
Administrators with appropriate permissions can view, create, edit, and delete custom
fields.
To view a list of custom fields for an account:
1. Scroll over the Configuration link. The sub-navigation menu displays.
2. From the Account link, click Custom Fields from the dropdown list. The Custom
Fields list displays with arrows that allow users to reorder items as desired.

desired.
