All questions are linked to certain **Account Types**. Account type is a useful tool that allows your site users to build "interest based" profiles. For example, you can have following account types: "Artists" and "Record Companies" and two  different sets of profile questions separately for each type. Musicians will have profiles with information about their talents, instruments they play and etc. while record companies will have information about their activities, job offers, contests and etc.


|**Note**: You should have at least one account type for the software to function properly. Oxwall package comes with one default account type called "Standard".| 

As a site administrator you can link profile questions to needed account types when adding or editing questions in Admin panel> Users> Profile questions.
