Custom profile fields let you add information to partner profiles that's specific to your program and your partners, such as projects delivered, a starting price, or a signed partner agreement. Each field is public or internal, and either the partner or only your team fills it in. This article is for vendors who run a directory.
Who can do this: Admins and Members add and edit fields; partners fill in the fields you let them edit · Availability: available on request: contact PartnerPage support to turn on custom profile fields.
Add a field
In the sidebar, go to Partner directory > Profile fields.
Select Add field.
Choose a Type (see the list below).
Enter a Name and, if you like, Help text to guide partners. The Key fills in automatically.
Set any options for the type, such as choices, a maximum length, or minimum and maximum values.
Under Who sees it, choose Internal (your team only) or Public. For public fields, choose where it shows on the profile: Sidebar or Main column.
Under Who fills it in, choose Partner can edit or Only you can edit. If partners fill it in, you can make it Required.
Save.

Where partners fill them in
Partners see a Profile fields card in their profile editor. Fields only your team edits show as Managed by directory owner, and internal fields carry the note "Not shown on your public profile". Internal fields that only you edit are hidden from partners.
If you approve profile changes, partners' edits to these fields wait for your review like any other change. Approve partner profile changes
On your public directory
Visitors see only public fields, in the sidebar or main column you chose. Numbers, prices and dates are formatted for each visitor's language. You can also move public fields around in the partner profile layout under Branding. Reorder sections on partner profiles
