Overview
Profile Fields allow you to gather helpful information about site members. Depending on which Profile Fields your admins enable, members can add Company Name, Location, Social Media accounts, and other professional information to their site profiles.
As an admin, you can customize the list of Profile Fields available in your community by choosing from preset fields or creating new custom fields. You can also define who can edit and who can see each profile field.
