Progressive profile
| Progressive profiling is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of IDM. For more information, refer to Deprecation. |
Progressive profile completion lets you gather profile attributes asynchronously to enrich your users' profile data, and enhance engagement with your customer base. Profile completion requires the creation of one or more forms to collect user data.
IDM implements progressive profile completion as a default self-service process. You can use this process as an example of how to build additional functionality into a custom client application, using the Self-Service REST API.
After activating Self-registration, users need only the following information to register:
-
User name
-
First name
-
Last name
-
Email address
Progressive profile completion lets you collect additional information, limited by the attributes defined in the managed.json file for your project.
In the following sections, you’ll examine how you use progressive profile completion to ask or require more information from users. You’re limited only by what properties are defined in your project’s managed.json file.
