About Me
General information about the About Me user widget.
Using the About Me widget, people who are logged in can select attributes that describes themselves. These could be anything you want to track, such as skills, like carpentry or typing, and spiritual gifts, like leadership or serving.
- You control which lookup values people can select. The attribute types you select display as headers, with the available attributes as options below them, sorted in alphabetical order. Note: Record Security: The attribute type must have Online set to Yes AND the attribute itself must not be a secured record. Otherwise, it will not display.
- When someone selects an attribute, it's saved as a contact attribute in MinistryPlatform with the current start date and time. When they clear an attribute from their list, the attribute record is end-dated once changes are saved.
- When people save their selections, the About Me page is updated. Edit or review the About Me page at any time.
- You can match people to opportunities or groups using these attributes in reports or views. Those who are logged in can also filter the Opportunity Finder widget using these attributes.
