Sometimes, our institution requires the use of some additional custom fields for users beyond those that come by default in Open LMS. Let's see how to create and manage them.

Go to Site administration > Users > Accounts > User profile fields

From here you can create and edit different categories to group additional fields. In this case, we have created one called Extra fields.

Then you just have to click on Create a new profile field and select the type of field you prefer:

• Checkbox
• Text input
• Date/time
• Dropdown menu
• Social
• Text area

Configure the availability, visibility options, etc., and save the changes.
