Furtherly, it shows how the elements are used on the User Data File (UDF) and how they appear on Employee Profile.

• Column “Field”: on this column, the standard-elements are presented as shown on the User Data File (UDF);
• Column “Max Length”: indicates how many characters each field supports;
• Column “Required”: indicates whether this Field is required by the system or not. This depends on the configuration for the field in Data Model. i.e., required="true" or "false";
• Column “Key”: presents how the Field is shown on the Employee Profile configuration;
