Adding Extended Fields to a Profile
*To add an extended field to a profile
1. Do one of the following:
*To create an extended field by providing new information, click Add Extended Field.
*To create an extended field by copying an existing extended field and modifying it, click the copy icon in the row for the extended field.
2. Fill in the fields listed in the following table:
Field
Entry
Name
Name of the extended field.
Enabled
Whether to enable or disable the extended field. When you enable a field, it appears in all profiles that contain it. When you disable a field, it does not appear in any profiles. If you create profiles while a field is disabled, the profiles will not contain the field. If you later re-enable the field, if the field is required, you will have to update the new profiles manually.
Required
Whether the extended field is required or optional. When you define an extended field, Trading Networks automatically adds it to all profiles you create after you add the field, but does not add the field to existing profiles. If you make a field required, therefore, you must add it to existing profiles manually.
Group
Profile field group to which to assign the extended field. If you need to add a new group, type the name of the new group in the Add New Group section of the dialog box and click Add Group.
Description
Optional. Description of the extended field.
Data Type
Data type of the extended field. For String, you can specify the following:
*Maximum Length: Maximum number of characters to allow in the field. The default is no limit.
*Default: Default value for the field.
*Valid Values: Acceptable values for the extended field. Click Add profile icon, type a valid value, and repeat as necessary. To remove a value, click Remove Profile Field icon.
