Defining Custom User Properties
To determine which user properties appear on User Profile pages within your Organization so that your internal implementation team or Zinc customer support can configure your preferences, consider the following guidelines.
• Decide which user properties you want to show in Zinc.
◦ What information is useful for your teams to have out in the field?
◦ Are details such as skill levels, geographic locations, and working hours more important than reporting structure?
• In the Zinc User Properties Import API, the Properties schema defines the order in which properties appear on User Profile screens. On a typical phone screen, about three properties appear above the More button.
◦ Consider which properties should appear first. Choose broadly informative and short details such as, job title, company division and location.
◦ Long lists that provide information such as job skills are better to display when users click or tap More.
You can designate individual user properties as searchable so that members of your organization can find colleagues by property values in the Zinc people search. Property search is off for all properties by default.
To configure searchable user properties:
1. In the Admin Console, click the Settings tab.
2. Expand the User Properties section.
3. Next to the property you want to make searchable, click the search toggle to enable it.
4. Click Save Changes.

If you navigate away before saving, a confirmation dialog appears asking whether you want to discard your changes. To disable search on a property, toggle it off and click Save Changes again.
