About Profile App

The Profile application is built in the Application Development Framework (ADF).

Overview

The profile application provides the functionality to allow users to manage and share their information throughout the site. A profile page provides the user with a unique page URL that can be shared. The users can manage their profile pages and edit their information through a profile dashboard page. Users profile information can be connected and synchronized to an external data source. Profiles can be configured to allow multiple roles and profile pages in multiple subsites and derived from multiple templates.

Requirements
