The User Fields page allows you to configure the fields that a new user is asked to complete on the registration page:
To add a new user field you need to specify the following:
- Field Name - This will be displayed as the label for the field.
- Field Type - You can choose between a simple textfield, a textarea, a dropdown list or a checkbox list.
- Required - Tick this box if you want the user to have to enter something for this field before they can register.
- External user registration - Tick this box if you wish to allow 'external users' (e.g. non-staff) to register (using a separate registration form). Doing so will create an 'external user' form and an additional link on the login screen to allow external users to reach it.
- Show on Profile Page: Tick this box if you wish to allow users to see and edit this field through "Your Profile" page. This will not prevent the field from showing on the registration page though.
If you create a dropdown list or a checkbox list, then you will need to provide a set of values for the user to choose from. To do this, click the 'edit field values' link next to your newly created user field.
Additional settings for default fields
If you're using Organisational Units, this field can be made mandatory. Talk to our Customer Support Team to change this.
