Adding and managing user fields

Adding and managing user fields

User fields are used to collect additional or necessary information from users when they join a hub or portal. Hub admins can add, remove, and edit categories and fields for user profiles.

Categories 

Categories help group related user fields logically for easier management. You can streamline your processes and ensure a more efficient and organized system for managing user information using categories.

For example, you can create a category named contact information and then add personal mobile number, work mobile number and so on as fields and mark them as PII so that the information is encrypted.

What are default categories?

Zoho Learn includes default categories that are Org Policies, which come pre-configured. The information in the default category is fetched from Zoho Accounts.
