Hi All,
I was wondering if the Edit User - Details tab area can be modified?
Like I would like to add a field, or two, on that screen.
I would also like to put some validation on the fields.
For instance the telephone field should have some sort of input mask on it
so then people cannot put in phone numbers any way they please.
It sure would be nice if this was possible.
I hope somebody has some good news! :)

I think the edit user tab is either built into the executable or is in encrypted dxl.
So there is probably no easy approach for you to take to achieve your objectives.

As Guest suggests it seems very unlikely to get that code. I have a minority opinion that its bad Karma. Its difficult to config manage as you have to push that out to all the clients and keep them up to date.
I suppose it'd be possible to write your own entire user dialog with all the functions of the original plus your own, and figure out how to redirect the client "edit users" button to go to your custom dialog instead of the default one. Again config management is difficult.
I would just write an on-demand script "Users_AdvancedEdit.dxl" to have the fields you want.
Alternatively insist on specific format of the Advanced Information field, perhaps:
Gender: xxx
Manager: xxx
Whatever: xxx

Well, again I put in a ticket to Doors.
I found out this cannot eb done either.
Again, another enhancement if we want it.
And no way in H*LL I am goingto create my own!! Not the whole thing anyway.
I'll let some of your more experienced guys do it! :)
It is too bad they encrypt the files that might do this!
Thanks!
Jerry
