    Previously as a Community member, one could customize your profile with the standard info: Bio & Area(s) of Expertise, Education, Job History, Honors & Awards, and Professional Associations.  I've recently added some new fields that'll allow members to connect with one another based on Industry, Zuora User Role, Certifications, and Product Interests.  As Community Advocates, I'm giving you a sneak peek at this new feature before announcing it to the rest of the Community. 

    By adding these extra fields to your profile, not only will you be able to be found by others who share your background, but also be able to search for others as well and perhaps expand your network by connecting with another member whose experience is different or complements yours.

    * Please note that all profile fields are OPTIONAL. One may still have a rewarding Community experience without expanding one's profile.

    As mentioned, I hope to announce this to the general Community next week so please try it out using the steps below.  I look forward to your feedback and suggestions! 

    Get Started with Your Community Profile

    1. Go to your profile.  Click on your profile picture in the upper right-hand corner and select "Profile"
