A common user field is a field that you will use on all or a majority of your forms. It is useful for select, cascading, or any other user field type that requires options.
If the user field is common then you will only need to update options on one form and these options will be available on all forms.
Changing configuration on the General, Security, Options and Events tabs on a common user field on one (1) form will affect all other forms that have this common user field enabled.

Exclude Common User Field
When "is excluded" is ticked the common user field will be excluded from this form but remains on all other forms that it is enabled on.

Exclude Common User Field Even Though it is in Use
When you exclude a common user field that has been used the following warning prompt will appear. Proceeding with excluding the common user field on the form will result in all data stored against it to be lost.
Please use this ability with caution. This cannot be undone.
