Overview
The sign-up form in Zoho CommunitySpaces is for gathering important information about new members and ensuring a smooth onboarding onto the platform. This also helps to ensure only legitimate members join your community.
New members will fill out a sign-up form to join your community. It collects basic details from users like name and email, and can include other information by customizing the form.
A sign-up form comprises three field types- mandatory, optional, and custom.
Mandatory fields include data like name, address, captcha, and terms and conditions. Data like about me, custom terms, and time zone fields will be present in optional fields.
For custom fields, you can create as many fields as you want to get personalized data from users. For example, you can add a field saying 'Interests' to collect the data about users' hobbies.
