Description

Additional Azure Active Directory (AD) Attributes is a feature available for Exclaimer Cloud - it allows you to have up to 100 extra AD fields. These fields are available within the template designer for use in your signatures.

This feature can be used if you maintain a local Active Directory and you synchronize to Azure AD, using the Azure AD Connect tool.

You can choose additional fields within the Azure AD Connect tool's Directory Extensions feature. These fields have all the available options that the standard fields have within Exclaimer Cloud (such as hyperlinking, font selection, size modification and visibility options).

How to access it?

To access the Additional Azure AD Attributes option:  

1. From the left-hand pane, click Configuration then select Manage User Data.
   
   NOTE: Manage User Data, Manage Mail Flow, Outlook Signatures and Exchange On-Premises are only available once you have successfully configured your Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Microsoft 365 subscription. 
2. From the right-hand pane, under Enable Additional Attributes are all the relevant options.
