Profile fields

Custom profile fields allow you to collect or store additional information about your members. For example, you might want members to provide an affiliation number or indicate their 1st/2nd claim status.

Where profile fields appear​

Profile fields are used in several places across the platform:

  • Member profile page - Fields with visibility set to Read Only or Editable are shown on each member's profile page. Editable fields can be updated by the member.
  • Registration form - Fields with Show on Registration Form enabled appear when a new member registers. Members fill these in as part of signup.
  • Membership sign-up form - The same fields shown on the registration form also appear on the membership purchase form.
  • Admin member view - All fields, including those set to Hidden, are visible to administrators in the Admin area when viewing a member's profile.
  • Member exports - Profile field values are included in the CSV/Excel export from Admin > Membership > Members.
  • Booking form - Profile fields selected under Booking Profile Fields in Admin > Settings > Sessions are included on booking summaries and in the bookings export, making emergency contact or medical information visible alongside each booking record.

Configuration options​

Label
The label used for the input on forms.

Description

  • Hidden - Not shown to the member on their profile page, but visible to administrators in the Admin area.
  • Read Only - Shown on the member's profile page but not editable.
  • Editable - Shown on the member's profile page and can be updated by the member.

Show on Registration Form
When enabled, the field is included on the registration and membership sign-up form so the member can provide a value at the time of joining.

Required
When enabled, a value must be entered or selected to submit the form.

Field Type
Sets the type of input to display. Set to Text for a simple text box, or Dropdown to present a list of options.

Options (Dropdown field type only)
When the field type is set to Dropdown, this option lets you define the values shown in the list.
