  4. Sorting Order – number of position in the list.
  5. Allow Empty Values – ability to allow users to leave this field empty.
  6. Allow Multiple Values – ability to allow users to enter more than one value for this field.

Now you can see this field in the web part (“Location” field). Click “OK” to save the settings.

Note: there may be a situation, when user adds field that does not have any values in corresponding AD field (field is empty). In this case when user fills out this field with the web part, the same value will be written in the corresponding AD field as well.

When the list of fields is defined, you can adjust fieldsets.
