Display options

Attribute display name: The text of the checkbox displayed for customers.

Make the attribute mandatory: Choose whether to make this attribute mandatory or not. If made mandatory, a customer has to enter a value at self-service registration or the next login.

Adapt the default progressive profiling experience to your needs with the new Pre-Progressive Profiling event we've added to supported lifecycle events.

Enable editing of attribute in Admin Console: You can enable or disable the editing of the customer data contained in the attribute for administrative users.

Enable attribute hooks

This feature allows you to build dynamic customer forms by applying JavaScript to attributes. With our customizable code snippets, you can make attribute behavior conditional to the state or value of other attribute fields. You can specify which customer interaction will modify the visibility, selectability, default value, etc. of the attribute using the available JS parameters.
