How to Add Custom Fields to the User Interface

On the CA Service Catalog user interface, you can optionally add custom field related to business units, accounts, or users. You can add a new field to meet a custom requirement for your organization or one of your customers. To do so, follow this process:

1. Review the additional data fields for business units, accounts, or users. By default, these fields exist in the CA Service Catalog database but are not exposed to users.
2. Review the sample custom.xml file to become familiar with it. This file lists the same additional data fields that exist in the database. You edit this file to expose those fields on the user interface.
3. Expose the additional data field you want on the user interface by adding a label for the field in the custom.xml file.
