Hi, Types and Views are able to access User fields from other plugins when they are stored in the standard usermeta database table as user meta values. BuddyPress uses custom tables to save their extended profile User fields, so Toolset plugins are not able to access them for display or filtering. If you are trying to display these fields, check out the BuddyPress documentation here:
hidden link

They have some code examples that you can use to access these fields in PHP. You could use those examples to create custom shortcodes that will display this information in a View of Users. However, filtering by these fields will require custom code.
