Managing user profile fields

Managing user profile fields

Overview

Zoho Connects lets you create multiple user profile fields that are shown on the user's profile. This helps in creating a rich profile for every user with information regarding their skills, interests, and more. 

Who can manage the user profile fields? 

Only the network admins can add, edit, and delete profile fields. 

Field Permissions

Field Permissions are a set of options that are used to determine the scope of a profile field. 

Allow users to edit: Allows users to modify the information in this field while editing their profile. 
 
Visible to everyone: Makes the information in the field visible to all members of the network.

Mandatory: Makes it mandatory for the user to fill in the field. 
 
Personal Information: Certain fields such as birthdate, email address, Social Security Number, etc., can be marked as personal information. Data entered in this field are encrypted to protect users' privacy.

Show in Onboarding Form: The field will be shown in the onboarding form which the user has to fill out while joining the Network.
