# Adding contact details
## Configuring contact details forms
Nexudus gives you control over which customer details are requested, and you can set these to be required or optional. To configure this you must:
1. [Define which personal details are collected from customers](/platform/settings/website/adding-contact-details.md).
2. [Specify which contact details are requested](/platform/settings/website/adding-contact-details.md) on your [sign-up form](/platform/day-to-day/sales-and-crm/sign-up-form-customization.md).
3. Configure the [Your profile section](/platform/website/about-the-member-area/your-account.md) of your space website to determine which details are requested.

Customers provide their contact details when they sign up, or by editing their profile. However, you can also [add contact details for a customer in the dashboard](/platform/day-to-day/operations/members-and-contacts/editing-a-contact.md), for example when a customer comes in to reception and provides these details.
