User Fields

User fields are the fields used to create a user object, like a new user account. During the user creation process, you can choose the fields to display in the user object according to the information you need to capture.

While you start creating the user object, the fields ‘User Name’, ‘Phone Number’, ‘Email ID’, ‘Password’, and ‘Reporting To’ will be open in the workspace by default. You won’t be able to remove these fields. This is because these fields are mandatory when creating user accounts. You can create other fields in the object on the go.

 

Note: The following actions can be performed in all the fields:

  • Edit the label name and description.
  • Select the description type (No description, Tooltip, Help text). 
  • Opt if there should be no duplicate value.
  • Mark the field as mandatory.
  • Set a default value in the field.

 

User Name

This field captures the name of the user. It will be the first field in the object by default and is mandatory for account creation purposes. You can make the following edits in the ‘User Name’ field:

Login With Text:

  • Facilitate the login with text, email ID, mobile number, or object while editing user fields.
  • Set the validation criteria including allowing special characters, numbers, and lowercase/uppercase by clicking the checkbox.
  • If you want to set a text limit for login ID, click the checkbox and type in the character limit.

Login With Email ID:

  • If you’re selecting login with the email ID, you can verify it through OTP or text by clicking the checkbox.
  • ‘Login With OTP’ will send an OTP to the entered email ID, which then should be verified for logging in.
  • ‘Login With Text’ lets you create a password to log in. This password can also be validated for special characters, numbers, lowercase/uppercase, and character limits.

Login With Phone Number:

  • If you’re selecting login with the phone number, you can verify them through OTP or text by clicking the checkbox.
  • ‘Login With OTP’ will send an OTP to the entered phone number, which then should be verified for logging in.
  • ‘Login With Phone Number’ lets you create a password to log in. This password can also be validated for special characters, numbers, lowercase/uppercase, and character limits.

Login With Object:

You can also facilitate login with an object. After selecting ‘Object’, select the object and field for user name and password from the dropdowns that appear below. 

Phone Number

Capture the phone number of the user while creating an account or logging in with the phone number field. You can make the following edits in the ‘Phone Number’ field:

Password

Enable a secure login process by creating passwords for users in the password field. Create password conditions like minimum length, inclusion of symbols, case constraints, etc. to avoid weak passwords and ensure maximum security. 

OTP Authentication

This field lets you send OTP messages to the user’s registered phone number, in order to verify their identity before permitting them into the platform. 

Name

If you need to capture any part of the user’s name other than the first name, you can add the ‘Name’ field in the object. You can make the following edits in the ‘Name’ field:

  • Customize the field as a prefix, middle name, last name, or suffix.

Text Box

You can rename this field to capture any additional information you need from the user. You can make the following edits in the ‘Text Box’ field:

You can add a dropdown menu in the user panel using this field. The dropdown menus can be entered in the ‘Field Values’ cell separated by the enter key.
