Shared users can have up to 20
custom infor mation categ ories (user
fields) as usual (such as: position,
department, vehicle plate, etc.).
However, for shared use rs, these
fields can be "single-line edit" only
(i.e., values are typed in instead of
being selected from a list).
How this is implemented
:
• If the accounts are defined with
'single-line edit' user fields, any user-
field values for the shared users will
apply to the assigned accounts.
Note: In this case, user-field values will
also be updated for all applicable
accounts if changed for a shared user in
any one of the accounts.
• For any accounts with some other type of
custom user fields (e.g., multi-line edit, or
drop lists), the custom user-field data is
retained and managed separately within
each account, and any shared 'custom-
user-field' data will be ignored.
Steps / Detail
Custom-user-fields for s hared users are
initially configured separately for each account.
To implement shared 'custom-user-fields',
these fields must be defined w ith the same
usage and order for all ap plicable acco unts,
and they must be set as 'single-line edit' fields.
