Use custom variables
Use custom variables to define your own user attributes in addition to the standard user attributes such as display name, contact email, and work phone number. You can use custom variables in the same way that you use other variables in the activation email template or when you create profiles.
Note: For security reasons, you should not use a custom variable for a password.
For example, for local users, a user's ActiveSync username might not be the same as their local account username, so you can use a custom variable to represent the ActiveSync username. In this example, Custom variable 1 is defined as the ActiveSync username.
- Search for a user account.
- In the search results, click the name of a user account.
- Click the edit icon.
- Expand Custom Variables.
- In the Custom variable 1 field, type the user's ActiveSync username. Click Save.
- When you create a Microsoft ActiveSync profile, type %Custom1% in the username field.
