Note:

  • If email is set as a base identifier, you can't make the Email field optional. 

    However, if you selected the login as a base identifier, you can make the Email field optional. In this case, users won't confirm their emails and will be able to register using any email domain.

Field ID

The Field ID can be used as a variable in certificates and emails. It is automatically replaced with the variable value when a user opens a certificate or an email. When you insert variables in the emails, use the % sign before and after the variable (%FIRST_NAME%).

The Field ID for every user profile field is located below the field’s name.



You can specify any Field ID for all new custom fields that you create.


Note:

  • For the preset fields like First Name, Last Name, Email, and Country, the Field ID cannot be changed.
