Placing a "User selection" field on your app form creates an input field for specifying kintone users.
Multiple users can be selected from a single field.

Specify the field name. The field name is displayed as the label of the field in the app.

Selecting the Hide field name checkbox hides the field name on the following screens.

• The "New Record" screen
• The "Edit Record" screen
• The "Record Details" screen
• The screen for printing a record
• The Form settings screen

Selecting the Required field checkbox makes specifying a user mandatory.

Selecting the Preset users checkbox lets you specify preset users that can be selected from the field. You can specify a user, department, or group as a preset selection.
If you specify a department or group, the users in that department or group will appear as choices in the field on the "New Record" or "Edit Record" screen.

If you do not select the Preset users checkbox, users can be selected in the following ways on the "New Record" or "Edit Record" screen.

• By using the field to search for users by their login name or display name
• By clicking the User selection icon to the right of the field to open the Select Users dialog, then selecting users from the list

This setting lets you set a default field value.

If you specify a user as the default value, the user will automatically be entered in the field on the "New Record" screen.
