User fields

User Fields are individual data attributes that store specific information about a user within the platform. These fields define the structure of user profiles and are used for identification, communication, access control, and personalization.

Adding and managing user fields

User fields available to be used by the Course Administrators.

Example list of user fields

Personal information on users is collected with simple forms during Enrolment to Courses. Course Administrator chooses what User Fields he wants to have in his course. He can choose from the list of available User Fields configured by Superadmin.

By default system has 4 fields that can’t be removed (Name, Last name, Accountability partner address, Accountability partner name). They don’t need to be used in courses but if you do not ask students for their Name they will be displayed as User #xxx.

User field is displayed on the enrolment form if two conditions are met:

  1. Course Admin added that field to the form in the Course settings
  2. User didn’t already fill that field in one of previous courses

Example:

  • “Course A” asks for Name and Favourite food
  • “Course B” asks for Name and Eye colour
  • User enrolls in “Course A” and writes his Name and Favourite food
  • After that the user decides to enrol in “Course B” and he is asked only for Eye colour (his name is already known)
  • All user fields are stored in the user’s profile and can be edited there by that user.
