Allow members to modify an object

The use of objects in the "Data" application allows you to independently create a relational database by linking different types of data together.

Before adding an object to the member section of your website, understand how the object field works and create your objects from the "Data" application. 

It is simple to add the object in the member's profile form so that the member can edit it when connected to your website. In order to facilitate the management of objects for the member, add a tab in their Member Section on your website.
