How Do I Make Member Profile Fields Optional/Required

  Overview

By default, Email Address, Birth Date, Address Line 1, City, Zip/Postal Code, and Primary Phone are required. You can configure any of these to be optional though. They can be made optional in just Director, just the Community portal or both. We can also make Emergency Contact Name 1 and Emergency Contact Phone 1 required (these are not required by default). In this article, you will learn how to change these member profile field requirements.

 Click Admin, then Settings. Then, scroll down to the Member Profile Required Fields section.
