[Directory] Customizing Management Fields > Instructions for adding, showing, and hiding management fields in the directory. #### Overview This page explains how to add, edit, and hide directory management fields linked to employee information (People).

This also lets you manage SaaS account linking (deduplication) more efficiently.
