Profile custom options on the Admin dashboard allows admins to provide a dropdown containing custom options for previously created custom profile fields.
During the company-onboarding process, The Fuse team customises the profile fields and user profiles of all users on a customer's instance to suit their specific needs. From their Edit profile screens, users can then provide important details, such as their name and location.
When customising profile fields, the Fuse team can choose to map a profile field to a Custom option. This allows admins to provide their own custom options for the profile field, using Profile custom options on the Admin dashboard. For example, for a Location profile field mapped to Custom option, an admin could add options for London, Cape Town, and Beijing. The custom options appear as a dropdown when the profile field is selected.
