Tell us what you are trying to do?
Attach a form to a user profile - these forms contain information about projects we are working on.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Toolset offers 3 types of Front End forms.
User Forms, Post Forms and Relationship Forms.

User Forms let you create and edit WordPress Users.
Post Forms let you create and edit posts of any kind.
Relationship Forms instead let you connect Posts that are in a Many To Many Relationship.

I think, if I understand you right, you will need to create users?
Or, add data to users?
Then you'd likely use User Forms.

Note that Users, cannot be used to search by, or within data attached to them.
Posts can, so if you need to have the data you attach to your users searchable in the front end, you'd need to create posts.
You can also "mirror" WordPress users to a Post, so if you need to mimic a user, but make it searchable, you can use this technique

Each of the usages is elaborated in the following DOCs:

Relationships: https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-build-front-end-forms-for-connecting-posts/

To add specific Fields (so you can enter the additional info) you can either create Post or User Fields, depending on what you will choose to work with:
Poste Fields: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-custom-fields/
User Fields: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/user-fields/

Please let me know if you need more details about any of the above-mentioned forms or fields.
