Importing additional fields

3.8 Importing additional fields

Note: Attempting to import an additional field that does not exist in the database causes a failure.

3.8.1 Additional user fields

You can import information into additional extended fields using the data import. In the user node, add an <AdditionalFields> node. Within this, add a node for each additional user (Xu) field you want to import for the user.

For example:

Copy

<AdditionalFields>
  <Xu1000>User Information</Xu1000>
  <Xu1001>More User Information</Xu1001>
  <Xu1002>Even More User Information</Xu1002>
</AdditionalFields>

3.8.2 Additional group fields

You can also add additional information to the group. For CMS, within the group node, add an <AdditionalFields> node. For PIV, within the agency node, add an <AdditionalAgencyFields> node.

Within this, add a node for each additional group (Xg) field that you want to import into the group's record.

For example:

Copy

<AdditionalFields>
  <Xg1000>Group Information</Xg1000>
</AdditionalFields>

If you add extended user (Xu) fields to the AdditionalFields node in the group node, or extended group (Xg) fields to the AdditionalFields node in the user node, these are ignored.

3.8.3 Additional job fields

To add additional information to the job created, add an <AdditionalFields> node to the <Card> node. Within this, add a node for each additional job (Xj) field you want to import.
