Create a custom property

Add a Custom Property to an inventory object when you need a field Microsoft does not track, for example a cost center on a Team or a User.

Before you begin

• Your Rencore role includes the inventory’s Edit permission. A user with Read access to the inventory can see the property and its value, but cannot change it. See Rencore roles.
• Custom Metadata is included in the Enterprise Plan and available as an add-on to the Premium Plan.

Steps

1. Go to Inventory > Inventory Options ([…]) > Manage your metadata.
2. Click the ellipses menu ([…]) in the top right of Manage your metadata and select + Add custom metadata.
3. Select the inventory object the property belongs to, for example User, Group, or Team. If the object is not there and you want to use a Custom Object instead, see Create a custom object.
4. Click Continue.
5. Under Custom properties, click + Add property.
6. Give the property a Display name and a Description.
7. Choose its data type: Text, Number, Date, Single select, or Yes-No. To fill the property from a file, see Format your file for the format each data type needs.
8. Optionally set a default value. The default is applied wherever the property is filled in, for example on a Provisioning form.
9. Choose whether the property is Visible in Teams App as a read-only property.
10. Click Add.
11. Click Save.

Limits

On Manage your metadata, the Visible in Teams App toggle controls only whether the property appears in the Teams App workspace details view. Reviews and Provisioning Templates are unaffected by this toggle. They select properties explicitly per Review or per template.
