Configuring Profile Pages

Configuring the Application Reader Profile Page

By default, the Profile Page will be the first page of the application in the Reader. You can include demographic information, education history, work experience, or any information which would be useful to the Reviewer at the start of their review. Each Application Review Type can have its own Profile Page or share the same Profile. The Profile is a custom VisualForce page.

Some or all of the customizations these tags provide may change or no longer apply to your instance at any time. If at any time the CSS impedes expected functionality in the TargetX product, our recommendation will be for you to remove the CSS to regain functionality.
