  Key Concepts: 
  Custom fields are user-defined fields that can be added to the SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS) to store additional information. These fields can be used to store data such as employee ID numbers, job titles, or any other information that is not already included in the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Custom fields can be created in the LMS by going to the “Admin” tab and selecting “Custom Fields”. From there, users can create a new field by entering a name and selecting a data type. Once the field is created, it can be added to any course or learning item in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating custom fields, it is important to make sure that the data type matches the type of data that will be stored in the field. For example, if you are storing employee ID numbers, you should select a numeric data type. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all custom fields are properly labeled so that users know what information they are entering into the system.
