Hi,
are you asking abt wat flexfeild and profiles are?if yes then

1. Flexfeild:- these are basically used for capturing extra information on a particular form, which is not required to show on the form.by applying a flexfeild another window opens and it allows user to put that extra information....lets take one very simple example- we have a form which shows transaction details of a user in a grocerry shop...after selecting all the items wen it comes to payment part,the system allows the user to select different choices like credit card,cash,cheque,Demand Draft etc.wen the user select any one of them,on the basis of selsction it opens a window with the details like credit card no., expiry date,issue from etc...in case of credit card.so for that a flexfeild is used...

2. Profile :- these are used to change the wholesome environment of the application on the basis of given values..like if u want that a particular user should be allowed to see some onformation but not the other one..then u can use profile options.Profile is eet on 4 levels.. 1. site 2. Application 3. resposibilty 4. user

i hope u r satisfy wid my ans....
