- Switch on Mandatory if you'd like to make it mandatory for admins to fill in the field when adding users. If you had already added users, this field will be mandated when you edit those users.

Note : The data will only be encrypted when it is within our servers. It will be decrypted before being retrieved and displayed.
- Switch on Show Tooltip to add a description or example to the field label. Up to two types of tooltips may be available, based on the field type:
- Info Icon: This displays the message upon hovering over the icon next to the label.
