User fields are used to enter information about a user's profile that can be viewed by other members of the organization.

To view and edit the user fields, do the following:

1. Navigate to Admin Panel.

2. Under Customization, select User Fields.
   

3. There are two types of user fields - Default User Fields and Custom Fields.

4. Default user fields are inbuilt and are provided to all Cliq users, whereas custom fields can be created by the admin.

Note:

• Default user fields are marked with a lock symbol to distinguish them from custom fields.
  

• Admins can edit the name of a default user field but cannot enable/disable or delete it.
  

• Cliq provides 15 default user fields and allows you to create up to 10 custom user fields.

• If your organization is integrated with Zoho People, all profile information will be fetched from Zoho People.

• Any configurations made in Zoho People will be reflected in the user profile in Cliq.
