User Profiles are initial surveys given at the community level upon being onboarded. They are designed to gather general information about each user, such as gender and location.
This article applies to Team and Legacy editions.
A user profile is typically designed to collect personal or demographic data from your community users. This data can then be used to generate reports, filters/views, or manipulated to categorize users or track specific user details. The data is also generally used to find information about users that would qualify them to take part in specific projects.
