Creating Custom Fields for Advanced Employee Permissions

You can create custom employee fields, which you can then add to custom Advanced Employee Permissions.

Important:

When an Advanced Employee Permission is assigned to a role, the permission access level is set on the Role page. Not on the custom entity record. For example, an Advanced Employee Permission is assigned to a role at access level View. Any custom fields that are added to the permission respect that access level.

To create custom fields for Advanced Employee Permissions:

Go to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Entity Fields > New.
In the Label field, enter a name or description for the custom field. You can enter up to 200 characters for the label.
On the Applies To subtab, check the Employee box.
Click the Employee Access subtab.
Click a line in the list.
From the Permission list, select the custom permission with which you want to associate this custom field. This list displays each of the custom Advanced Employee Permissions that have been created.
Click Add. Alternatively, click +Insert, select the permission, and click Add.

Tip:
To remove a permission, select it from the list, and click Remove.
Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each custom permission you want to associate this custom field with.
To finish, click Save.

The custom field is automatically added to the custom permission. To see a list of the custom fields associated with a permission, click the Fields subtab. Then, click the Custom Fields subtab on the Permission page.

Note:

The Show In List box on the custom entity field record is not supported with Advanced Employee Permissions. This means that custom fields are not shown on the Employees List page when this box is checked. To display custom fields with Advanced Employee Permissions, you need to create a custom view that contains the custom fields. To do this, click Edit from the Employees List page and manually add the custom fields.
