Add individual profile fields for members

As an administrator in a community, you have the possibility to add further profile fields that the individual members should/must fill in.

This is useful for requesting information such as date of birth, organization, LinkedIn profile and more. These fields can be required or optional, and can be hidden or displayed to other members.

1. Open the community settings
2. Click on "Members
3. Activate "Profile extension"
4. Click on "Add" in the "Custom Profile Fields" section.
5. Select the desired field type
6. Fill in the name of the field, an explanation for the members and a label
7. Select priority for the order in the profile and make final settings
8. Create

Once these steps have been completed, the field is displayed in the profile of all members of the community. If the field is mandatory, members will receive a notification that they must fill it in.
