Assume we want to add a Skype address to the user registration information. This field belongs to the USER entity of the Main module.

Fill in the required fields:

• Data type - Skype address is best represented by a String value.

• To enable users find each other by their Skype address, select the Include field values in search option.
• In the Language Settings section, enter the field name as it will be seen in the forms: Skype.

Save the changes.

Then, browse back to the new user form and click the gear icon. In the menu, select Settings to open Customize Form Appearance.

Now, configure the form. Select Personal Information in the list on the right. In the Available Fields list, select Skype and click the button ">" to add it to the fields visible on the form.

Select the option Set these settings for all users by default and click Save.
