Is that possible to add more fields to the user collections or we have to create separate collections then use queries to get the data we want?

Hi Charles,

You can add as many fields as you want to the user collection. E.g. first name, last name, date of birth etc.

 do I do it in the console? because everytime I add an extra column it just disappears after I refresh the page.

You have two options to achieve this:

1. Using the console, add the new column and then add value for that column for one or more users.
2. Update KCSUser class definition with the new column and then update/add one or more users with values for the new column.

Hi Charles,

Sorry if I was unclear before. Following are a couple of code snippets I think would solve this issue.

• Sign up a new user with an extra field
  

[KCSUser
	userWithUsername:@"kinvey"
	password:@"12345"
	fieldsAndValues:@{KCSUserAttributeEmail : @"kinvey@kinvey.com", KCSUserAttributeGivenname : @"Arnold", KCSUserAttributeSurname : @"Kinvey", @"dob" : @"07-05-61"}
	withCompletionBlock:^(KCSUser user, NSError errorOrNil, KCSUserActionResult result) {
              if (errorOrNil == nil)
              {
                  //was successful!
              }
              else
              {
                  //there was an error with the sign up
              }
	}];

• Add a new field for a logged in user
  

[user setValue:@"NYC" forAttribute:@"city"];
[user saveWithCompletionBlock:^(NSArray objectsOrNil, NSError errorOrNil) {
    if (errorOrNil == nil) {
       //was successful!
    } else {
       //there was an error with the update save
    }
}];

• View a field other than preset values - e.g. date of birth - dob
  

NSLog(@"User's date of birth is - %@", [[user valueForKeyPath:@"userAttributes"] valueForKey:@"dob"]);
