How does the "Profile Info" section work on a form?
By default, when a user submits their first form (usually an application form), Vome share their basic profile information with you that they used to create their user account.
When creating a form, you can choose which Vome profile fields are being requested on your form (see screenshot below).
Any of the core profile fields below can be updated by the user on their Vome account and field updates will be immediately reflected in your database. You may also choose to request that they update these fields by sending them another form in the future.
Required core profile information fields include:
All of these fields can are required since the user is sharing this information when creating their Vome user account before submitting the form and the data is shared with you in any form submission.
First name:Cannot be displayed on the form.
Last name:Cannot be displayed on the form.
Email: Admin can choose to display this field on the form.

Optional core profile information fields include:
