1. Go to Manage Business Configuration
2. Click Employee Profile - Standard

All 15 custom fields under "Standard" have been used.

1. Go to Manage Business Configuration
   Employee Profile > User Info > Create New.
   
   
   The new fields under "User Info" have the same behavior as the 15 custom fields under "Standard".
2. Employee Profile > View Template > sysUserDirectorySetting, click on "Details".
   
3. Find "Userinfo Element", and add the new field.
   Click on Done then Save
   Note: If you get an error like “The View Template minority configured in Edit Template ‘sysAllUserDirectorySetting’ is disabled.” it means there is an element under sysAllUserDirectorySetting that is set to Enabled= No (in the error above the element is minority but it could be any other element that is disabled"). So you will either need to remove it from sysAllUserDirectorySetting or enable it before you can save again.
   
4. Go to Manage People Profile.
   Add the new field in "Personal Information" block.
   
5. Go to Manage Permission Roles.
   Select a Permission Role > Permission... > Employee Data > Grant edit permission.
