Create User Defined Fields

Print Page

User Defined Fields are boxes you create to hold specific information about a family, child, employee or vendor. They may be text boxes, dates, yes / no answers, or numbers. They are best used to record things that vary from family to family (or person to person) like their exact income, whether they qualify for a certain government program, or the date they were approved for something.
