# Manage custom field metadata

Udf is the abbreviation of User Defined Field (User Defined Field). Authing data entities (such as users, roles, groups, organizations, etc.) can add custom fields. You can configure fields that Authing does not come with by default. For example, if you need to create a school-related application, you can add a custom field. `school` field. At the same time, you can ask the user to supplement the information of this field after the user registration is completed. For detailed documentation, please see https://docs.authing.co/extensibility/user/extend-register-fields.html.
