Profile Form Header
The Profile form is displayed when the My Profile tab is selected from a website.
The content entered within the HTML editor is displayed at the top of the form.
Instructions for entering profile information can be customized here.
Collect Profile Form Fields
The Available Fields box contains all of the standard Profile fields, plus any custom profile questions defined for the account (by an administrator on Account Settings > Registration > Profile Data).
Administrators define custom profile questions on Account Settings > Registration > Profile Data.
The following controls are used to manage fields:
- Use the ->> and <<- buttons to move selected fields to and from the Available Fields box and Displayed Fields boxes.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to set the desired display order for the sections listed in the Displayed Fields box.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page after making your field selections so that you can customize the selected fields.
After saving, you see a row for each selected field. You can modify the information to change the display and behavior of each field as follows:
- Label – The field label that will be displayed on the Profile form.
- Require – Collect data and require that an answer be provided. If a data field is collected, the data is validated and an error message returned if an error is found. For example, U.S. addresses are validated for 5 or 9 digit zip codes and email addresses are validated for the user@domain.xxx format.
- Read-Only – Display data, but do not enable the online registrant to modify it. Read-only is useful for invitation events, for example, when you would like the invitee to be able to register online, but don't want them to be able to transfer their invitation to someone else by changing the name fields.
- Note: If a field is marked as "Read-only", but there is not any data previously entered for that field, then an empty text form field will be shown and indicated as Required. This enables the registrant to provide the missing information.
The following profile data must be collected at a minimum:
- First Name
- Last Name
Confirmation – Existing Profile
The content entered in the HTML editor is displayed on the profile confirmation page and in the body of the automatic email sent after an existing profile is updated.
The To field defaults to the email address of the person filling out the profile form (either from their profile information or from Certain user information).
The Reply To field defaults to the email address of the user configuring the form, but is modifiable.
The Subject field defaults to “Update Profile Confirmation,” however, but is modifiable.
Confirmation – New Profile
The content entered in the HTML editor is displayed on the profile confirmation page and in the body of the automatic email sent after a new profile is created (if allowed).
New profiles can only be created from a website if Allow Profile Creation? is selected on the Website's Setup page.
The “To” field automatically defaults to the email address of the person filling out the profile form (either from their profile information or from Certain user information).
The “Reply To:” field automatically defaults to the email address of the user configuring the form, however, it is modifiable.
The “Subject:” field default text is “Update Profile Confirmation,” however, it is modifiable as well.
Text entered in the “Proceed to Home Message” field will be displayed on this confirmation page if the “Allow Profile Creation?” field is selected on the Website's Setup page.
