    2. Select the field you want to add from the dropdown menu. 
    3. Complete the common settings

    New profile fields will appear on each user’s profile page unless Who is this field visible to? is set to Not visible, in which case only the Site Administrator can see the field. The fields can also be displayed on the signup page if Display on signup page? is set to Yes.
