Working with Users
Creating User Fields
Custom fields allow an administrator to create spaces for additional information to be entered into a user’s profile. By default, the system requires a first name, last name, and an email address. However, many organizations want to track things such as employee ID, phone number, address, or other pieces of information. The Custom Fields tool lets administrators decide which information they want to keep on file for their students inside the LMS.
