Custom Fields for Users

FileBound user accounts have six custom fields that allow Administrators to add additional user information. They can also be applied to group configuration for advanced file security.

Use Case: Each department in your company is assigned a department code. You want to restrict users to only allow them to view documents for their department. By using a custom field to store the information, group security can be configured to restrict the user’s view to their department without creating a security group for each department.

Items of Note:
• The maximum length for a custom field is 250 characters.
• Users can view these custom fields in their User Information but cannot edit them. Only Administrators can edit a user’s custom fields.
• The pipe (|) symbol can be used to separate distinct lookup values in the user’s profile.
