Hello, I got a question of the "Field".
It's basically a unit of "form" which get information from users, store in database and display on our site when we want. I have been playing with CB a while, I only know I have options to show a field on 1)profile, 2) profile registration 3) profile edit.

However, I am wondering if I can show a field in any page of my site to get information and to display it? I guess I can use CB Query field to display any information in my database. However, if the field can be show "on any page" of the site to ask for information it will be great.

You can display fields for display purposes anywhere you want using CB Content Module and CB Content Bot using substitutions. See the below tutorial on how to substitute in fields. CB Content Module provides a Custom HTML module with some more advanced features including substitution support. CB Content Bot provides a Joomla content prepare plugin to allow substitutions anywhere that content is ran through Joomlas content plugin API.

Thanks for pointing out how to use the substitution through out CB. I read it through and got a clue that it's a function to display any field in an article. I guess content→field (as below) is where I should start with. However, I didn't get a clue of how to make a field displayed in an article. Do you have step-by-step guidance?

That's Joomla fields and has nothing to do with CB. CB fields are in CB > Field Management. The substitution article I already linked you above and again below explains how to display fields where substitutions are supported. With CB Content Bot installed and published you'll be able to use substitutions in your Joomla articles.
