Custom Fields

You can define custom fields that allow application owners to provide additional information while submitting action requests, and/or when creating access requests. Custom fields can be defined via the Settings→Custom fields page.

You can also add custom fields for application owners to fill in during action submissions. To add new custom fields:

  1. Click on the Add custom field button.
  2. Under the Custom fields section, provide the following information about the new field:

  • Field title: The name of the custom field. The field name must be unique within the system.

  • Field description (Optional): A free-text description of the field. Can be used to provide further information to the application owner filling in this field.

    • Text: The custom field accepts text. If Multi-line is checked, the text data can contain more than one line of text.
    • Dropdown: The custom field accepts a pre-defined value. The pre-defined values that can be chosen are defined in Option values.

  • Option values: A comma separated list of text values. For example:

    This setting is available only when Field type is set to Dropdown.
