Customize Admin Users Custom Fields Tab Layout
What is the best way to customize the Admin Users Custom Fields layout? I would like to leverage the existing Admin User interface and display additional custom fields using a custom layout.

I have added a few custom fields that display under the Custom Fields tab in Admin Users. I would like to change the layout of this page, but not sure if it is possible. Is there a way to modify User_Edit_CustomFields.aspx to have it load a layout or Alternative Form? Or is it possible to add a new tab that displays a custom layout?

I believe I understand how to add a new tab, but wasn't sure how to load and save the custom field data from the User class. Another thought was to create a new class to process the custom fields added to the user table using my own data provider.

RE:Customize Admin Users Custom Fields Tab Layout
Hi Michael,

You can specify name of your alternative form into 'AlternativeFormFullName' property of csm:DataForm control in ~\CMSSiteManager\Administration\Users\User_Edit_CustomFields.aspx file, e.g.:

<cms:DataForm ID="formUserCustomFields" runat="server" IsLiveSite="false" AlternativeFormFullName="cms.user.nameOfAlternativeForm" />

Best Regards,

Martin Dobsicek
