How do I set up User Fields for my Sites?

If your version of Timegate Web supports User Fields, they can be set up from the Admin | General | General Maintenance | User Fields - Site Cards page.

Setting up a user field is done as follows:

  • Select Add
  • Enter the values for the field
  • Enter a Field Group (by default this is None). If you wish to group your fields by name, set this up in the User Fields Group page (Admin | General | General Maintenance | User Fields Group)
  • Enter a Field Label (this will be the name shown on the screen)
  • Select the Type of field (Date, Numeric, Text or Yes/No)
  • Enter the Field Length (only for The length of the field in characters for Numeric and Text)
  • Enter a Decimal if you are using a number and wish to specify places
  • Select Mandatory , if the user must enter a value
  • If you wish to use a drop down list, select Selection then configure from within the pop up window
  • If you don’t want the field to be active straight away, select Inactive
  • Use the arrows to determine the Sort Order
  • Select Save
