Creating a custom field

You can create a custom field that can be added to IBM PEM partners. After you create the field, it can be added to partners. One use is to identify the partner in a third party system.

1. Sign in to the PEM PortalPEM Partner Repository as a Sponsor Administrator.
2. Click Settings > Custom Fields.
3. Click Create.
   The Custom Field window is displayed.
4. In the Name field, enter a name for the custom field.
5. In the Regular Expression field, enter a regular expression that includes all possible and valid values that the partner can have for that custom field.
   For example, if you create a custom field that should take a nine digit number, then the regular expression for this is: [0-9].
6. From the Type list, select the appropriate type for the custom field.
7. Click Save.
   A confirmation message is displayed.
8. Click Create.
   The custom field is saved.
