Example
Acme Corp. has employees located across 5 US regions; Northeast, Southwest, West, Southeast, and Midwest. Jane would like to include employee regions in the user data that Acme Corp. shares with Betterworks. To do this, she will need to:
1. Add a custom field (key = "region", label = "Region").
2. Add a new field to the organization's user file template.
3. Enter or map user data.
4. Share with Betterworks via CSV upload, HRIS integration, etc.
From there, the custom field will display with the "Region" label in the user group creation menu.
As well as in reports that are generated from the Usage Dashboard.
Deleting Custom Fields
To delete a custom field, go to Admin → User Management → Users → Custom Fields
1. Hover over the custom field.
2. Click the trash can icon.
