Customizing the add organization wizard

You can add custom fields to the add organization wizard in the service provider and reseller control panels. This makes it possible to capture billing or other special information when you add organizations.

To add custom fields, you need to update the user.platform.strings.po file by performing the instructions provided in the Ensim Unify Language Pack Installation Guide under the Customizing language packs section.

After completing the instructions mentioned in the Ensim Unify Language Pack Installation Guide, stop the Provisioning Engine COM+ service on all the PE servers using the following instructions:

  1. Log in to the provisioning engine (PE) server as the domain administrator.

  2. On the PE server, click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools, then click Component Services.

  3. In the left navigation bar, expand Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > COM+ Applications > Provisioning Engine.

  4. Right-click Provisioning Engine, then click Shut down.

  5. If you have more than one PE server, repeat the above procedure on each PE server.

After completing the above instructions, custom fields are displayed on the first page of the add organization wizard in the service provider and reseller control panels. Users can type up to 250 characters in custom fields.

To see the changes, log in to the service provider control panel, then start the add organization wizard. Custom fields appear on the first page of the wizard.
