When you create a UDF,
it is created only in the back-end, and is not available in the page for use on
which you want it to be displayed.
Note:
·
Adding a custom
attribute is always in relation to one of the following entities: User,
Organization, Role, or Catalog.
·
When catalog UDFs
are customized to show in the first page of the Create Role wizard, they are
also shown in the summary page of the wizard. But when role UDFs are customized
to show in first page of the Create Role wizard, they are not shown in the
summary page of the wizard. The summary page must be separately customized for
these role UDFs to be displayed.
