Tell us what you are trying to do? add fields/data to user account (or connect records to a user account) like: 2015 payment (yes/no), 2014 payment (yes/no), 2013 payment (yes/no), etc. I will upload the data - no cred forms needed - i just need fields available to upload data to, and then need to be able to display the data on it's own page for the logged in user - not in the users profile.

Is there any documentation that you are following? no

Is there a similar example that we can see? no

What is the link to your site? under construction

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as I understand you want to import the User meta data using CSV?

[malagaS]

no, i will upload via csv but that's not a problem - what I'm asking is how to create fields to upload to.

The data is tabular - I'm attaching an image of what i would do if the correct method would be to use post types but if that is the correct method then i don't know how to attach it to a user.

if i can create user meta instead then, in that case, i don't know how to upload tabular data as user meta.

also uploading image of what i need to display, ultimately. any advice appreciated. thanks.

Well - we only offer way to import data for CPT.

Please check here for detailed instructions how you can import custom post data with custom fields.

To make relationship with user either you should connect post author as user or you should have different custom post type for users.

To import image - you need Pro version of "WordPress Ultimate CSV ":

thanks - again, my issue is not with the upload.

can you give me more detail on this? :

To make relationship with user either you should connect post author as user or you should have different custom post type for users.

I mean to say you can not establish relationship with user directly as there is no such feature available.

So there are two ways:
1) - Create CPT to store your info (year,status,info) and link user as post author (set your required user ID as post author)
OR
2) - You need two CPT one to store your info (year,status,info) and another CPT to store user ID and link both CPT using Types post relationship
[ However - this will be lengthy process ]
OR
3) - Another idea is to add one more custom field to store the user ID with your CPT as stated in #1
