Adding a New Form Field to the Members Database<\/h4>\n
Every site comes with a members database already created in their dashboard.<\/p>\n
This database can be accessed through the ‘Members’ menu on the dashboard.<\/p>\n
If the standard fields contained in this database do not capture enough information about your members then you can easily add another field(s):<\/p>\n
\n
- Open the Members>Form Fields page from the menu in your dashboard<\/span><\/li>\n
- Click the ‘Add New Form Field’ link at the bottom of the screen.<\/span><\/li>\n
- A new form field will be added to the screen. Give this form field a label e.g. ‘Position’.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Now select the form field ‘Type’. The type should reflect the type of data you wish to capture e.g. for a simple Bio you would choose textfield, for committee position you could choose checkbox list or radio list.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Click the ‘Save Form Fields’ button to finish.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Now, when you navigate to ‘Add Dataset’ you can now enter data in the new form fields that you created. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
