Custom Profiles

Custom fields enable you to define how fields will behave when matching profiles. For example, if you have created an Age field, you may want the system to find the exact match, range or like. This way whenever you add new fields for search criteria you can define how should it behave.
This setting is available for only Search Fields Section, other section fields will be used for data capture/display purpose, no search operation will be considered.
