This page allows registered aPix users to manage their profile information. The information in the form is a combination of profile questions asked when registering on the mobile device and web only questions that do not appear on the device anywhere.
Some items represented in the form are required others are not. Validation of the form happens once the submit button is selected. Once submitted all elements are stored in the user DB.
Tabs
There are two areas/tabs associated with the user's profile. The first tab is "
- Vitals & Interests" (actual name TBD)
- Mobile Info - houses all mobile and phone information - This tab gets an ON state when selected and houses all non-mobile/phone information
These same two tab labels also show under the Profile button/link in the left side navigation box.
