The User-Defined Tab and User-Defined FieldsThe user-defined
fields allow you to create and assign your own entries to individuals or
families. In the example here, some of the user-defined titles have been
renamed. You can change the name of any of the custom fields by double-clicking
inside the selection box below the title you want to rename. This also allows
you to add default entries to each user-defined field that can quickly be
selected from the selection box for that field.
Each field also has a calendar button if you need to quickly insert a date as
a field entry. Each field allows you to select a value from the list, enter a
date using the calendar button, or type your own entry manually. Liturgical
churches will find this feature helpful in keeping track of rites or sacraments.
You can have 10 user-defined fields for each individual, and six fields that are
shared between every member of the selected individual’s family.
The custom reports feature allows you to
quickly create a report to display the custom field information you've entered.
You can also create and print a variety of reports based on the user-defined
fields by clicking the user-defined report button on the toolbar (this button is
visible only when the User-Defined tab is selected).
The General Information tab automatically displays the first five individual
user-defined fields and the first three family user-defined fields. You can change the order of the user-defined fields (and
therefore which fields appear on the General Information tab) by using the up
and down arrows in each section (on the User-Defined tab) to move the selected
field up or down in the list.
