Create a New User Authentication Field

To create a User Authentication field, follow these steps:

1. From the Setup menu, select General > Custom Fields.

   The Custom Fields page opens.

2. Click the New Custom Field button above the fields list.

   The Create Custom Field dialog box opens.

3. In the Field Name field, enter a name for the new custom field.

   This is the name that will appear in the TMS database. The field name cannot contain spaces.

4. In the Description field, enter a short description of the purpose of this custom field.

5. From the Control Type drop-down menu, select User Authentication Field.

   The Parent Field, Data Type, and Max Length fields automatically populate and are disabled. Their properties cannot be changed.

6. In the Modules area, select a module where this field will be used.

   If you want to add the User Authentication custom field to forms, you must select at least one module to associate the field with. You can associate the custom field with any or all of the main modules in the application.

7. Click Save to save the field or click Another to save the field and add another field.

Once a new User Authentication custom field added, you can edit it by clicking the Edit button (the pencil icon) next to the field, however, you can only edit the description and the module list.

You can delete a User Authentication field by clicking the Delete button (the red X) next to the field, however, you cannot delete the field if it is in use.
