There are two ways to add custom user data - through the Mobile Workers section of CommCareHQ, or through Bulk Upload
...
| Info |
|---|
This feature requires a CommCare Software PlanThis feature (Bulk User Management) is only available to CommCare users with a Standard Plan or higher. For more details, see the CommCare Software Plan page. |
You can use the Upload Mobile Workers in Bulk tool to add and update custom user data in bulk.
...
Some additional information is also available through custom user data. They are automatically added to the data:
Data | Path | Format |
|---|---|---|
User's first name | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_first_name | |
User's last name | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_last_name | |
User's phone number | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_phone_number | |
User's primary location | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_location_id | |
User's locations | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_location_ids | space-separated list |
User type | instance('commcaresession')/session/user/data/commcare_user_type | "web" or "commcare" |
For example, to combine the user's first and last name into a single name in a hidden value, you can do the following:
...
If you do not check this box, the field will be removed, but users will still have the related data, which is now called "unrecognized" or "uncategorized." If you created a field called "size," assigned a value to a user, and then deleted the field, when you view the user you will see this section of "unrecognized" data. As described in the warning, if you save this user, the "size" value will be deleted.
...
This This unrecognized data will still appear in mobile worker downloads and can still be edited. It will appear in columns marked "Uncategorized."
...
There are instances where custom user data will not be activated when used in an Application that was copied from another one.
