How to Edit the User Profile Template?
Learn how to create or edit a user profile.
The User Profile
A user profile page allows users to present themselves and make meaningful connections. Other users can identify and learn about members of the community. It helps establish credibility and expertise, which facilitates connections and drives engagement.
The information will be displayed, accessible (pending permissions), and searchable from the community page.
Customizing the User Profile page, allows you to collate information that will highlight what's most relevant for matching startups with mentors, investors, and other resources. The data can be used to analyze program effectiveness, identify trends, and make informed decisions about future program development.
The User Profile page is customized using custom fields. The answers submitted by users are saved and are reusable wherever that custom field is displayed.
