TalentLMS lets you add your own custom fields to user profiles to optimize user management and classification.
| Note: You can add up to 100 custom fields to user profiles. |
To create your first custom field, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator and go to Account & Settings > Users (1).
2. Scroll down to the Other section and select 0 custom user fields (2).
3. Click Add field (3).
4. In the Name (4) field, type a name for your custom field.
5. From the Type (5) drop-down list, choose one of the four types of user input:
- Text: Users are prompted to type the details
- Dropdown: Users are prompted to choose an item from a drop-down menu. To add the items, type each one and hit the Enter key to add it as a tag and separate it from the next one. Alternatively, you can click the </> icon to add all items, separated by a semicolon (;). You can set a default value by using brackets. E.g. [Yes];No;Maybe
- Checkbox: Users are prompted to check or uncheck a box
- Date: Users are prompted to pick a date from the calendar
| Note: You can choose to make your custom field Mandatory and Visible on reports (6). If a field is made mandatory, the user will not be able to go past their profile page until they fill it in. You can also make it available only on your main portal and/or one or more of your branches, by using Selective availability (7). |
6. Click Save (8) to create the custom user field.
7. If you want to change the order of your custom fields appearing on the users’ profiles, click Reorder (9). Οn the side drawer that shows up, drag and drop your custom fields to change their place on the list, and click Save to set the order.
At any time, you can choose to Edit (10) or Delete (11) a custom user field. Note that if you delete a custom field that is populated in the user profiles, the information will be lost permanently.
| Note: Custom fields can be used on Certificates. |
