This can be done by adding the field in the DG Filter section in the succession data model (as this envolves handling with Provisioning, you should engage your Implementation Partner or raise a ticket with Support), or the admin can add it in "Manage Business Configuration" (BCUI).

1. Open "Manage Business Configuration" (BCUI);
2. Expand "Filters" section;
3. Expand "Dynamic Group Filters";
4. Click "DGFilters";
   
5. Then click in "Details";
   
6. You'll be able to add EP fields in "Standard Element" dropdown list, or EC fields by selecting an "HRIS Element" and clicking "Details";
   
7. Then, at the bottom of the dropdown list you will see all the available EC standard and EC custom fields (please note that Country Specific Fields are not supported);
   
8. Select the required field, hit "Save" and it will be available as a filter in "Permission Groups".

Notes: 

• Please note that country-of-company field is not supported for use as a DG Filter. Instead it is recommended to use: company.country of regirsation
• If adding EP fields, please ensure you look through this KBA.
