Adding Custom fields

Posted on by 100

Hello,

In Human Resources, there are 2 options that can be used to create custom fields:
1) From Human Resource UI; Using Personalize option, select Add Field to create new field in specific section. Post field creation sync the field to CDS using custom field option.

2) From Power Apps; under Solution section, select HCM common and use ‘Add field’ option to create new field

Kindly confirm which is the correct method of adding the custom fields?

Thanks,

Akanksha Jha

    Hi AkankshaJha,

    I do agree with the replies above. Option one is preferred for new fields. If you want to add new tables with some specific details which is not in standard HR, Power Apps would be the option to create a form and embed it in HR.

    Hi Akanksha,

    I would suggest option 1. 

    This gives the best visibility on how and where the field is added.

    Just make sure to add the field in the perzonalisations for other employees if required.
