Set up the organization directory for Kaizala

Important

Microsoft Kaizala has retired on August 31, 2023. We recommend using Microsoft Teams for continued connection, sharing, and collaboration.

Kaizala organization admins can define and manage user attributes for an organization. They can add custom user attributes (such as employee ID or manager) in the Kaizala management portal, which makes it easier for admins and other users to identify a user.

Organization admins can add new attributes and define settings that each attribute can have.

Set up attributes for all users in the organization

1. On the Kaizala management portal, from the left navigation bar, select Directory > More.
2. Select Manage Attributes from the drop-down menu.
3. To add a new attribute, select Add New. Then choose from a range of pre-defined suggested attributes or add a new one.

For a new attribute, you can enter the name of the attribute, select its type (string, number, Yes/No, and date/time), and determine whether the values for the attribute are required or not. For each attribute, the following property needs to be set:

		Default value	Behavior
Allow users to edit values for themselves	ON	If set ON, users themselves and tenant admins can edit values for the attributes. If set OFF, only tenant admins can edit values.
Show this column to all users	ON	If set ON, this particular column is visible to all users. If set OFF, only tenant admins can see this column.

• You can add multiple attributes at the same time.
• When you've finalized the list of attributes, select Save to add the new changes to the organization's attribute list.
