User custom fields are additional fields that can be added to user objects in addition to basic user fields. Developers can store a small amount of business-related data by setting custom fields.

Configure custom user fields

You can define the following types of custom fields:

  • String;
  • Numeric;
  • Date;
  • Boolean;
  • Enumeration;

You can configure custom user fields on Settings - Field Management - User Extended Field page:

When naming a newly created custom field, you can edit the display name of the field in multiple language environments:

  • Edit directly in the input box under "Display Name" to get the default displayed field name
  • Check "Chinese" and edit the field display name in the Chinese environment
  • Check "English" and edit the field display name in the English environment
  • Check "Traditional" and edit the field display name in the Traditional Chinese environment
  • Check "Japanese" and edit the field display name in the Japanese environment

In particular, if the display environment of the field is not included in the above four language environments, it will be displayed using the "default displayed field name" you configured.

After configuring custom fields, you can open the registration information completion page of the application and let users complete the information of these custom fields.

On the App Details - Advanced Configuration page, turn on Customize the login box of this application

Then switch to Branding, check the Enable registration information completion switch, and then select the custom field you just added:
