When you manually add new members to your academy, you may notice that some fields—such as Above unit/unit, Job, or External ID—are optional by default.
However, depending on your organization’s needs, you might prefer to make one or more of these fields required to ensure consistent data entry.
Why This Matters
Requiring specific fields when creating user accounts can help maintain a clear and organized structure within your academy. For example, making Above Unit mandatory ensures that each user is correctly placed within your organizational hierarchy.
How to Configure Required Fields
You can easily decide which fields should be required when adding users manually. To do this:
Navigate to your Academy Workspace > Academy Admin.
Go to your Settings and select Control Panel.
locate the Organizational Structure section.
Under Add User Required Fields, review the available options.
Select the fields you’d like to make mandatory, such as Above Unit/Unit, Job, or External ID.
Once your selections are made, click Save to apply the changes.
After saving, the chosen fields will be required for all new users added through the Add Users page. This ensures consistency in your user data and helps you keep your academy well-organized.
