Create metadata fields that allow you to record and track additional information about a user.

To do so:

  1. Open Domain Settings.
  2. Click Add on the Metadata for users card.
  1. Provide the following:
    • Name, which is not visible to the users and cannot include spaces or special characters (you can underscore or hyphenate between words).
    • Title, which is visible to user.
    • Input Type.
    • Any Placeholder text you want.
    • Default, which defines the state or content that you want present in the field when users first encounter it.
    • Indicate which options you want to apply:
      • Read-only in subdomains: Check this box if you want the metadata to appear in subdomains, but not be editable.
      • Hidden in subdomains: Check this box if you don't want the metadata to appear in subdomains.
      • Required when editing: Check this box if you want the field to be required.
      • Include metadata filter in list view: Check this box if you want this to appear as a filter various screens in the Admin app. If you select this, you can also:
        • Indicate the List-view column width (in pixels).
        • Indicate whether you want to Include metadata filter in list view and, if so, provide the Default filter value. If you do not specify a value, then the list is not filtered by that metadata field.
  2. Click Done and Save.
