Form edit rules allow you to customize what fields appear on account creation forms throughout the system. Some forms include the webinar registration forms, the user profile seen by users, and the user profile seen by administrators.
Controlling which fields appear using Form Edit Rules
All standard profile fields will default to displaying on all forms, with the exception of the webinar form. Similarly, with custom profile fields (create by administrators) where “display on sign up page” is set to Yes, the field will appear on ALL user forms in the system.
The Form Edit Rules feature makes it possible to tailor specific sign-up forms throughout the LMS. It also allows for the Workbook report for webinar / sponsored webinar registrations to display specific user data collected in the registration forms.

To modify form fields, go to Site administration>>> Plugins>>> Local Plugins>>> Form Edit Rules.
Adding Rules
Some pre-existing rules may appear in the list of Form Edit Rules. To add a new rule, click on Add Rule:
Form Name – includes all system forms and determine where a field will appear (see list below)
Field Name – any of a number of specific fields that can be specified to appear or not appear on the user profile, the account creation form or the webinar workbook. Custom fields must be input as: profile_field_{shortname}**
**the exception to this rule is when removing fields from the workbook (local_course_users) simply input the profile field shortname without “profile_field_” prefix.
| Custom Profile Fields must be created first, click here for information on Custom Profile Fields |
The Form names are:
user_edit_
