How to Create Custom Profile Fields

Customise what information you wish to collect from your LMS users by creating new profile categories and fields.

In PlutoLMS, custom profile fields allow administrators to create additional fields to gather and store specific information about users. These fields go beyond the default profile information such as name, email, and picture. They enable administrators to tailor the user profiles to fit the specific needs and requirements of their LMS. 

In summary, custom profile fields provide administrators with the ability to collect additional user information, personalise the user experience, generate custom reports, improve communication, and facilitate integration with other systems. They offer flexibility and customisation options to tailor the LMS platform according to the unique needs of an organisation or learning environment.

Use Case Example:

Suppose there is an LMS implemented in a corporate training environment. The LMS is used to deliver various training programs to employees across different departments. In this scenario, custom profile fields can be utilised to enhance the learning experience and streamline administrative processes.

Here are some examples of how the profile fields can be used:

Department Field - A custom profile field called "Department" can be created to capture the department to which each employee belongs. This information can help administrators and instructors to group users based on their departments for targeted communication or specific department-focused training programs.

Job Title Field - Another custom field named "Job Title" can be added to gather information about the employees' roles within the organisation. This information can be utilised to personalise the learning content and recommendations based on job roles, ensuring that employees receive training relevant to their specific responsibilities.
