I am new to CB. I have watched all the videos and read all the material but cannot find how to do the following:

I need for example to collect information on registrants about their formal education. I need multi-lines that contain the following info:

1. Institution (School, College, University, Seminary, Other)
2. Year
3. Qualification (
4. Type of Qualification (Degree, Diploma, Higher Certificate, Certificate, etc.)

If they have multiple qualifications I need one or two lines that can be added plus a way to upload their certificates for each qualification.

Any assistance in this regard would be appreciated.

Easiest way to do that is CB Field Groups then just add regular fields inside of it. We have a demo of this behavior on our demo site below.

demo.cbdemosites.com/

Click "User" on the left under "Login As" then hover over Community at the top and click Edit Profile. Now click the Details tab and check out the "Schools" section.

You can get the exact usage on our demo site by installing CB Quickstart, which helps quickly get a basic social network site up and running from a single package.

I managed to get done what I need to. When I, however, want to add the Progress field as part of the CB Filed Group to indicate the progress it seems that when a second field is added it is indicated as 100% complete even if there is no data filled in.

I add the CB Progress Field as the last field within the CB Field Group. It displays correctly on the first group when it is emty. When adding the second empty group, it still shows 100% complete.

How can I fix this?

CB Progress Field is not CB Field Groups aware. It's not a usecase covered by that field. Have added a bug ticket for this though.
