How to set custom attributes in Office 365?

Office 365 has certain default Azure Directory (AD) attributes like city, companyName, department, displayName, jobTitle, email etc. These attributes are used to add personal and company information directly into your email signature.

But there are certain fields that you might wish to add for instance, a custom phone number, employee ID, one-click survey links, additional contact details or even an alternate email address for which there isn’t an existing attribute in the AD field. There are 15 custom attribute fields available in Office 365 to which the above mentioned additional fields can be added.

1. Log in to the Exchange admin center
2. Navigate to ‘Recipients’ > ‘Mailboxes’ from the left panel
3. Select the mailbox name to set custom attribute and click ‘Others’ > ‘Custom attributes’ in the right pane
