This page describes functionality provided by the optional profile module. The profile module is distributed as a part of Drupal core but it is not enabled by default.

This page displays a list of the existing custom profile fields to be displayed on a user's My Account page. To provide structure, similar or related fields may be placed inside a category. To add a new category (or edit an existing one), edit a profile field and provide a new category name.

To change the category of a field or the order of fields within a category, grab a drag-and-drop handle under the Title column and drag the field to a new location in the list.

(Grab a handle by clicking and holding the mouse while hovering over a handle icon.)Remember that your changes will not be saved until you click the Save configuration button at the bottom of the page.

You have several fields available:

• single-line textfield
• multi-line textfield
• checkbox
• list selection
• freeform list
• URL
• date
