Site Administrators can create new user profile categories and fields which will appear on each user’s profile page.
To add a custom field, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Accounts > User profile fields.
- Select the field you want to add from the dropdown menu.
- Complete the common settings.
- Complete any specific settings for that field type.
- Click Save changes.
The available profile field types are:
- Checkbox
- Date (no timezone)
- Date/Time
- Decimal input
- Dropdown menu
- Integer input
- Text area
- Text input
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.
