Assigning Custom Details to Users

If extended fields are set as active for users, an Extended Fields section displays for each user record defined within Accolade. Use these fields to assign custom details, such as department information, to each user. How extended fields are used, and whether they are required for users, is specific to your company.

The Extended Fields section is disabled if multiple users are selected to modify. To assign extended fields to multiple users at once, use a spreadsheet file to import the extended field settings. See Importing and Updating Accolade User Accounts.
