Admins can create additional custom fields for a user to fill out when creating a new
IBM Aspera Faspex On Demand (FOD) user. Custom fields can be required or optional. You can
view information gathered by these custom fields on the Accounts page
and you can use these fields to sort and filter user accounts. Custom fields are also used to
configure SAML. For more information on SAML, see SAML and FOD.
Note: Custom
user fields do not apply to Directory Service users.
To create custom fields, go to Server > User Profile.
Click the Add User Profile Field button to create additional
custom fields to a maximum of five fields.
Configure the custom field. The following section describes configuration options for a
custom field:
Configuration Option
Description
Enabled
Select this box to enable or disable the custom field. (Fields are enabled by
default.)
Name
Enter the desired name of your custom field into the text box. This field
applies to Local users.
Required
Require new users to fill out the field. Clearing the box makes the field
optional. (Fields are required by default.)
Click the button to delete a field. Faspex opens a
pop-up that prompts you to confirm by clicking OK to delete
the field.
Note: Deleting a field permanently deletes the custom field and all its
data from all existing users.
Click Save Fields.
To view your custom fields, go to
Accounts. Click the Toggle Columns button and
select the fields you want displayed.
