Adding Custom Fields to User Profiles in Zoho CRM

Can you add custom fields to User profiles (personal settings)?

Yes, you can add custom fields to the User details page in Zoho CRM, letting you capture organisation-specific information about your users beyond the default set, such as employee ID, department name, date of joining, or team name.

How to add a custom field to the User layout

  1. Open Users. Go to Setup, then General, then Users and Control, then Users.
  2. Select a user to edit. Choose any user from the list and click the Edit icon.
  3. Open the field manager. In the Edit User form, click Manage Fields.
  4. Add your field. Add the custom field you need, and make it mandatory if required.
Note: This is separate from customising the standard fields on modules like Leads or Contacts, which we cover in our article on creating custom fields in Zoho CRM. Adding a custom field to the User layout requires the Manage User permission on your profile.
