Special Profile Fields

There are some special profile fields that could be enabled at a contestant level (common for all team members). These are as follows:

  • Country - Nationality of the contestant.
  • Affiliation - Affiliation (such as company, university, school etc.) of the contestant.

The participant's answer to these fields will also be displayed on their profile, to anyone who has access to view the profile (such as public or other contestants), unlike custom fields which is only visible to the participant and the organizers.

These can be enabled from the Registration Settings section, and will work independently of the custom profile fields. Please note, these fields will be only asked to the captain of the team, in case of a team registration.

Unlike Custom Profile Fields and Registration Form Fields, the platform will support filtering the scoreboard, showing separate analytics etc. based on these fields.

Please Note - If you are for example, having an event where there could be team members from different countries, and you want to individually collect the country of each team member, you should instead use the Custom Profile Fields to do so. Similarly, for affiliation, you can use the Custom Profile Fields to collect the affiliation of each team member, if needed.

Users will be able to edit these fields from the manage account page, unless you have locked profile editing.

danger

Teams or users cannot be filtered or searched based on these fields. The collected information is only visible when viewing a user's (or team's) profile in manage page, or through exporting the user/ team list as CSV.
