Customizing the User Admin Applet

Sometimes it's convenient to add custom columns to your User Admin Applet such as Department or Job Title. Not only will these fields make it easier for you and your sub-administrators to filter for people in a specific department, these values can also come really handy for workflow escalations and various personalization.

It's easy to add and remove custom columns. Just go to the Information Fields tab on the User Admin Applet.

Remember, those user metadata fields only live in User Admin and custom workflow applications. They are not content metadata fields.

Here's something else people often ask me about: When you get a fair number of users you either loose them or get tired of scrolling. If either of these occurs then either uncheck the Use Filter check box on the Users tab to show ALL the users, or check it and define the criteria to only show the users you really want to see.

Congratulations! You now understand how to manage users. Next, let me show you some ways to get content in.
