A custom attribute does nothing until you assign it to a member type. Members of an unassigned type cannot see or use the attribute. This article covers how to assign custom attributes to a member type.
Assigning custom attributes to a member type
- Go to Database > Member Types.
- Select EDIT SETTINGS for the member type.
- Select ASSIGN CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES.
- Select the attributes to assign to this member type.
- Select SAVE.
What members see
Assigned attributes appear in the profiles of members with that type. Whether a member can view or edit an attribute depends on your security settings.
To control that access, see Group attribute security.
