# Displaying User field

Advanced Views natively supports the following User types:

1. [ACF](/advanced-views/fields/meta-plugins/advanced-custom-fields.md): any User field
2. [MetaBox](/advanced-views/fields/meta-plugins/meta-box-fields.md): any User field
3. [Pods](/advanced-views/fields/meta-plugins/pods-fields.md): any Relationship field (for users)

## 1. How to display a User field

1. [Create a new *Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md)
2. Add any User field
3. Save the *Layout*, copy its [embedding shortcode](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md)
4. Embed *Layout*: paste the shortcode inside the target place

Advanced Views automatically creates HTML link markup for the chosen user(s). You can create a dedicated field *Layout* to display fields of the chosen post instead:

## 2. Displaying User details

Sometimes, instead of displaying the user as a link, you may need to display some fields of the selected user with your current *Layout*. For example, besides the user’s name, you might also want to display their bio, website, and avatar, with the avatar being an [Image field](/advanced-views/field-types/media/image-field.md) attached to the user. 

<figure><img src="/files/OUhGps2PXIjiXtKcV6bY" alt=""><figcaption><p>Users displayed with their details.</p></figcaption></figure>

To display user details, follow these steps:

1. Create a ‘User Details’ *Layout*:\
   This *Layout* will be responsible for displaying user details. In the Fields tab, assign the user fields you want to display, such as the Name and Bio, then publish the *Layout.*&#x20;
2. Create a page *Layout*: \
   Create a page *Layout.* In the Fields ta&#x62;*,* add the target User field, and assign 'User Details' as a Field Layout, then publish the page Layout
3. Embed page Layout: copy and paste the page [Layout shortcode](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md) inside the target place

That's it!  Now you can [customize the *Layout* template](/advanced-views/layouts/code-fields/custom-template.md) to use the[ User render options](/advanced-views/field-types/relational/user-field/render-options.md).
