Custom sections allow you to tailor profiles and application forms to your workflow and ensure the right data is captured at the right time. For demonstration purposes, this article uses a candidate profile and a candidate application form to show how to add a new section. You can follow the same steps when adding a section to a client profile and a client application form. Let’s get started 🚀 ### **Create a New Section** Create a new section by defining the fields as per the information you want to collect. **Step 1**: Log in to your agent dashboard, then click **More \> Application & Profile Builder**, as shown in the screenshot below. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gundefined/ZX6SRcVVBgv016jrSow7DivEpjtqmdIQQ8mKdxDBuvtqhvWppiOQTELMNQNKp779oHbcduELiAO.png) **Step 2**: Click the **Add** button to start adding a new section. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/QjYfSt5pC6G6BMrQeYfFD1ZcHZ1nS8BSSY5NHB8FATTjmfzQf2SSRnzzhAo4LmBIlqPDdxUrksr.png) **Step 3**: Enter a name for your section, then choose **Section** as the Builder Type and **Candidate** as the User Type. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/1pWxc8OLeGg6ClYBBnuySxy4diUG9wL0lDhpgJXQ7LRwE9Qb5NptZx0mT4HMUL6V4YKw0NRRG2v.png) **Step 4**: Choose the **section type** as required.
