Customer Self Service features 'Field Groups', which allows fields from a database table to be grouped together. The Field Group can then be used to present the fields to a user on a particular page of the website. 

Examples of Field Groups in use would be: 

• User Registration page
• Checkout Address fields
• User Maintenance screens
