Use ajax on conditional fields → Select “Yes” for improved page performance.
Automatically generate passwords for users → Allows you to generate users passwords automatically.
Note: For the users to receive the generated password inside of the emails, you will also need to add the {{password}} tag inside of the Registration Email template (Profile Builder → Settings → Email Customizer → User Emails).
Modify the Send Credentials checkbox → Lets you either change the text or hide the checkbox and enable the sending of the email.
Redirect users to a page if they have empty required fields → By activating this option, logged in users who have empty required fields on their profile will be redirected to the page you added above.

Unique Display Name for users → Restricts users from saving their profile if the chosen Display Name is already in use.

Datepicker starts on Monday → Will make all Datepickers use Monday as the first day of the week.
Hide Repeater Fields from the back-end profile page → Repeater Fields from Profile Builder do not work on the back-end user profile page, they are just displayed. If you want to remove them completely, you can use this option.
You will still be able to use them from a front-end edit profile form.

Make the Single Userlisting URLs work with user nicename → By default Single Userlisting URLs are generated using the users ID. eg.: http://website.test/userlisting/user/123
With this option activated, the URLs will be generated using the users nicename.
