Empty Profile Configuration
Summary
The empty profile configuration allows updates to user profile pages throughout the site. It controls:
1. Which details are displayed on the user profile page
2. Placeholders to display if the field is left empty
As a default, all fields filled in the user profile will be displayed on the user page.
Note: these changes only affect the user profile page. To affect the fields displayed on the edit profile page, please see the editable fields guide.

Steps
You’ll need to be a webmaster to do this.
1. As a webmaster, go to Administration
2. Under People and Teams, select  Empty user profile field config

Hiding fields from the profile view
Displaying or hiding fields from user profiles is as straightforward as selecting a checkbox. Only fields which are checked will display on the user profile page.
Â
Using placeholders for empty fields
If a field is to be displayed on the profile page but nothing has been added to the field, by default the information will not be presented. To display placeholder text instead for any fields which are displayed but empty, enter the placeholder text into the placeholder column.
Note: if the field is set to not display, the placeholder will not be used.
