Learn how to create user fields via the web app.
Data type options
The "Text" data type allows you to capture alphanumeric input. For example, for the "Employee number" user field, you can enter "SC1122345".
The "Date" data type allows you to select and store a date input. This is best used for date-based information, such as a user's hire date or birthday.
The "User" data type allows you to select an active user from your organization. You can only select one user at a time.
For example, for the "Manager" user field, you can select the relevant user to be assigned for the user's details.
The "Multiple choice" data type allows you to provide a set of options to choose from. You can add up to 100 options per field. Please note that multiple-selection is currently unsupported, meaning you can only select one option at a time.
For example, for the "Job title" user field, you can select "Technical Writer" from the options you've set up beforehand.
