This can result in a backlog of pending meetings, which ultimately has an impact on efficiency for events.

Link-type custom profile fields have been built specifically for input of web links onto a profile. They will appear as a separate block on a profile page and, rather than displaying the full URL, will instead display a title and a description. This will make profile pages look considerably cleaner and more professional, giving event participants the opportunity to give context to the links they have added.

By introducing minimum, maximum and required profile values, we can make sure you get the info you need for maximum event success.
