Custom Attributes

You use this function to create custom attributes for existing users and roles.

Integration

After you create a custom attribute, you must map the attribute to the appropriate user or role. For more information, see Custom Attribute Mapping.

Features

The fields on the Custom Attributes screen are described in the following table:

Field	Use
Name	The name given to the attribute.
Description	A description of the attribute.
Required	If this indicator is selected, the custom attribute is automatically mapped to all users and roles and the attribute's default value is used. You can manually map the attribute to a user or role and overwrite the default value.
Type	The type of field, such as text or date, that appears on the users or roles screen.
Field Size	If the custom attribute type is Text, the field size value is the maximum number of characters allowed in the text field.
Validation	If the custom attribute type is Text, you can choose to allow only numeric or alphanumeric characters in the text field.
Values	If the custom attribute type is date, list, or radio button, you can enter the date format or options for the list or radio buttons. Use a vertical bar to delimit your list of options. For example, enter `A\|B\|C` to label your radio buttons A, B, and C.
Default Value	The value that defaults for the custom attribute. For more information, see Required. The Validation setting applies to the default value.

To see a list of users and roles mapped to the selected custom attribute, choose the Usage tab.
