Using custom fields to enter additional information to account
========================================================================

Set up custom fields on your account so that administrators can enter information in custom fields, or receive information from users.

Use custom fields to receive additional information when creating user account applications, or to use it as information that can be collected from the consent page.

The custom field allows administrators to manage user account information by classifying it in detail through various information set up/entered.
