Managing Mandatory Profile Fields & Validate Direct Alumni Registrations
Customise alumni profile fields and mark them as mandatory or optional based on your institution's requirements.
Making certain fields mandatory ensures that alumni provide essential information, helping you validate direct alumni registrations and maintain a complete and accurate alumni database.
Step 1: Accessing Profile Fields Settings
Log in as an Admin on your Alumnly site.
Navigate to Directory then click Profile Fields.
Here, you’ll find a list of all available alumni profile fields.
Step 2: Marking Fields as Mandatory or Optional
Locate the field you want to modify.
To make the field mandatory for alumni to complete after login, toggle switch to turn it ON under "Mandatory" column. When a field is set to mandatory, alumni must complete it before saving their profile.
To make the field mandatory for alumni to complete during registration, toggle switch to turn it ON under "Direct Registration Add-on" column. Please note: these are only applicable to alumni registering directly on your site, i.e. not added or imported by the admin.
