How to add custom attributes to New Object and Object Properties wizards in Web Portal

Summary: When creating a new Active Directory or Microsoft 365 object you may need to fill in some custom object attributes that are not on the object creation wizard by default. In the Cayosoft Administrator Service Console you can add such attributes to the Other attributes section of the corresponding Web Action settings.

This article has step-by-step instructions on how to do this. As an example, we will add a user EmployeeID to the New Active Directory User wizard. You can add custom attributes to the object properties wizard in the same way.
