What are Custom Profile Fields in Circle
Custom Profile Fields in Circle are unique fields that community administrators can create and add to member profiles. These fields allow for the collection of additional information about community members, beyond the standard details such as name and email. They can be used to gather data on a wide range of topics, such as members' professional backgrounds, interests, location, or any other information that might be relevant to the community.
The use of Custom Profile Fields can enhance the community experience by enabling more personalized interactions and content. For instance, if a community is centered around a specific profession or interest, custom fields can be used to highlight members' expertise or hobbies. This can foster deeper connections among members, facilitate more targeted discussions, and help administrators tailor content and activities to the community's needs and interests.
