Profile

The Profile tab under Member Profile Forms is used to setup the basic settings for the form.

The table below explains the fields available on the Profile tab:

Field Name Description

Title

Enter a descriptive Title for your member profile. This is not seen on the website when the form is inserted. A title is required in order to save the member profile form.

Description

Enter a relevant Description for your member profile. The description in this field is not seen on the website when the form is inserted. A description is required in order to save the member profile form.

To create a title other than Your subscription profile for the form, you need to edit the HTML directly.

Form Fields

The options under this field are stated below:

  • Name: This is used to select the Name option for the member profile form. A name can either not be asked for at all, or optionally asked for. There is no option to force a user to enter a name.
  • Password: This is used to select if you like to ask for or not ask for a Password to access the member profile form. The password is not displayed when you enter it. If a user is a member of one or more lists requiring a password, the system is not going to allow this user to access the member profile form unless a valid password is entered.

Note

Once the member profile form is accessed (using the correct password, if any), then the user is allowed to change the password. In this case, all the passwords on the lists that are checked on the profile are updated to the new password, thus making all checked lists have a consistent password. If the current setting requires a password, it cannot be set to a blank (nonexistent) password. The default option here is Do not ask for a password

  • Display list description: If set to Yes, the list description as well as the list name are displayed on the profile form. If set to No, only the list name is displayed. To view and edit list descriptions, see Utilities > List Settings > Basic Information. The default for this is set to No

For example, if the list name is Example List, and the description is Example Customers Only:

No (do not display list description), displays:

Example List on the member profile form.

Yes (display list description) displays:

Example List : Example Customers Only
  • Lists: This is used to select the Lists that subscribers can update a member profile for. By default, only the list you are logged into is displayed. To select more lists, click Choose lists. You are taken to Utilities > Web Forms > Member Profile Forms > Choose Lists. You are only able to see lists that you are able to access with your administrative rights.
  • Demographics: By default, no demographic data is added. To add fields for users to fill in with demographic information, click Choose demographics. You are taken to Utilities > Web Forms > Member Profile Forms > Choose Demographic Fields
