What is a 10KC Member Profile?
A Member Profile on the 10KC platform is a page that's dedicated to a member, and contains all of the information related to the 10KC Program(s) that they're participating in. The information here is used by 10KC to help ensure members get the most purposeful matches with other members who share common goals and interests, and it's also visible to other members who may want to connect.
What's on a 10KC Member Profile?
There is an abundance of information available on a Member Profile in 10KC, including:
Basic Information: this section includes member information, including name, email (not visible), education, job, other links, and about.
Hub Information: this section includes information that is specific to a member's participation for the the Hub(s) that they're a member.
Profile Strength: an assessment of the strength of the member's profile baed on information that's been populated
Interactions Settings: settings that confirm the interactions that the member is participating in and how other members can connect
Profile Photo: a photo of the member on their profile
Scorecard: a dashboard that shows a member's engagement within the 10KC platform
In this Article we'll explain each of these sections in a little more detail.
Basic Information
Basic Information is visible to other members within the Hub, and includes:
First Name & Last Name
Job Title & Organization Name
Pronouns
Headline
Your Website (e.g. LinkedIn)
Your Location
Education Information
An 'About' section
The About Section
This is where members can write anything about themselves (within a 3,000 character limit) and what they are looking to achieve in the Hub.
Hub Information
Hub Information on the Member Profile contains information that's specific to their membership within a particular Hub. On this page, some fields may be visible to the member, some may be editable by the member, and some may be private to just the member and Hub Administrators.
Profile Segments
Profile Segments are categories of member information that's used to drive the 10KC matching algorithm and enhance reporting so Hub Administrators can view participation in a meaningful way. The Segments that are available within a Hub are confirmed by Hub Administrators and the information can either be imported from a system within your Organization or it can be populated and maintained by the member.
Interests
Interests are self-selected by members on their Profile for each of the Hub(s) they are participating in. Interests inform the 10KC matching algorithm to connect members that have similar Interests. The Interests available for selection within a Hub is confirmed by the Hub Administrators, and is generally curated to drive connections in a meaningful way.

Goals
Goals are self-selected by members on their Profile for each of the Hub(s) they are participating in. Goals inform the 10KC matching algorithm, where areas that one member is offering knowledge in can be matched with a member who is seeking knowledge in the same subject.

Profile Strength
Member Profiles have a Profile Strength that's calculated by 10KC based on how much information is available on the profile. Members can click Add information here to be guided through the steps of completing their profile.
The more complete and up-to-date a profile is, the more likely the member is to be matched with someone who has similar interests and goals.
Interactions
Members can customize how they participate in a Hub by editing their Interaction Settings. Specifically:
Other members can start a conversation with me
If toggled on, other members may reach out to this member through Directory Search and start a conversation by clicking Say hello
If toggled off, other members may not reach out to this member to start a conversation and will not see the option to Say hello
Automated introductions:
If toggled on, the member will receive automated Introductions
If toggled off, the member will be opted out of Introductions
Other members can search for my profile:
If toggled on, other members may view this member's profile through Directory Search (but they cannot start a conversation, unless they have allowed conversations)
If toggled off, other members cannot view or search for this member's profile
Member Profile Photo
A Member Profile Photo is a photo that is added to a member's profile. Profile Photos are a great tool to encourage connections by providing a friendly and recognizable face. They are are visible to the profile owner on their profile and in the upper right corner of the Hub. They are also visible to other members when they are viewing a member's profile.

Track activities they perform in the 10KC platform
Take action on pending activities
