Used to update a Custom Field against the Employee Record. Select the Custom Field from the drop-down to display the Custom Field in the Action section. You will then be able to update the Custom Field based on the type of field using Merge Fields. 

For example, when updating a Custom Field such as 'Start Employment Date' selecting Current Date from the General - Merge Field Section will populate the relevant date merge field. The Custom Field will be automatically updated with the date of when the automation runs.

Custom Field values can only be maintained in FYI by an FYI Admin who can add, edit or remove Custom Fields. Refer to Managing Custom Fields.
