Rules and guidelines for custom fields

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you configure a custom field:

•Specify the custom fields in Zendesk using the following format, where FieldKey is value of the Field key in Zendesk:

Object1=”FieldKey1,DataType,Size,Filterable,PrimaryKey”;”FieldKey2,DataType,Size,Filterable,PrimaryKey”
Object2=”FieldKey1,DataType,Size,Filterable,PrimaryKey”;”FieldKey2,DataType,Size,Filterable,PrimaryKey”

For example, you can specify the following custom fields for Organizations and Users objects:

Organizations="support_description,String,255,true,false"
Users="problems,String,255,true,false";age,Double,0,true,false";"required,Boolean,0,true,false";"select,
String,255,true,false";"support_description,String,255,true,false";"reg_ex,String,255,true,false"

• When you specify a custom field for Tickets object, you must specify the custom fields in the following format:

Tickets=”CF_FieldID1,DataType,Size,Filterable,PrimaryKey”;”CF_FieldID2,DataType,Size,Filterable,
PrimaryKey”

For example:

Tickets="CF_360003199614,String,255,true,false;"CF_360003373654,String,255,true,false"

•Specify the custom fields for different objects in a new line.

•When you specify multiple custom fields for an object, you must separate each custom field with a semicolon (;).

•If you specify a size for a custom field, the agent considers the size of only the string data type. You must set the size for custom fields of other data types as zero.

•The field key in a custom field must not contain special characters.

•To find the field key for Tickets object in the Zendesk website, go to Settings > Manage Ticket Fields.
