You can create custom sections that will show up on the user record page. You can also choose what information goes in each of those sections.

Why do you need Custom Sections?

Custom sections are a useful feature for when you want to track information that is relevant to you, but not available in the application, by default.

For instance, if you’d like to capture the medical history of your employees which includes the last hospital visit, medication details, and reason for the visit, then you could create a custom section called “medical history” and add relevant columns to capture those details.

You can also choose to hide these sections from users, using a simple permissions framework, while creating the section.
