User Attributes: Step by Step
User Attributes are questions specially selected from Forms where the given answers provide additional information to describe the member. These questions are often included as part of the Registration Wizard for new users. Once complete, User Attributes can be used throughout your myClubhouse site including as columns in the Member Directory, as criteria in Member Lists, and as filters within tables.
In this step-by-step example, we will be adding User Attributes to hold the emergency contact details of a User.
