Redirect_field_name in LoginView

[Polina Ia]

Hello, 

can someone explain me the setting of 'redirect_field_name' in LoginView?

in my urls.py I have the following 

urlpatterns = [

   url('^login/$', LoginView.as_view(template_name='accounts/login.html'), name='login'),

    ]

After successful signing in it redirects to default 'next'=/accounts/profile/. I'd like to redirect to my own url. Is it better to set 'next' value in view or 'redirect_field_name' in urls? I am not sure if they have similar purpose or not?
