Users Shared Across Multiple Accounts: To implement
shared 'custom-user-fields', these fields must be
defined with the same usage and order for all applicable
accounts, and they must be set as 'single-line edit'
fields. Related Topic: "Set up any Custom User
Fields for Shared Users".
Custom User Fields
Custom user-fields allow creating up to 20
additional categories for users (e.g.,
Department, Position, etc.).
Note: Custom user information categories pertain to all
users for a specific account.
These allow sorting lists of users by
Department, etc. when working in "Grid" view,
and can also be referenced when issuing time
and attendance or activity reports.
Note: Reports cannot be filtered on multi-line fields. Be
sure to make your selection with this in mind.
