You can add custom fields to both the members/representatives and to the new member registration form. ## **Module location** You can access the module under **Managment** \> **Settings**. Then, on the **Custom Fields tab**, click the Members or Representatives link. ## **Create new custom field** - Click the button with the ‘+’ icon in the top right corner of the screen. - In the dialog box that appears, type a name for the new custom field. - Select the field type according to what you want to record as data: - text (single line) - text of one line.. - textarea (multi-line) - longer text allowing the use of multiple lines. - whole number - integer - only an integer can be filled in. - check box - can be checked or unchecked. - selection of values - fill in multiple options for users to choose from. It is possible to tick and allow users to select multiple options. - date - date selection with the option Allow time selection: the obligation to fill in the exact time (hh:mm) in addition to the date. - For each field, its visibility (read) and write permissions are set with the following options: - team managers - members who manage teams, e.g. coaches or managers. - Platform administrators - a member with permissions to the Management section. - anyone - all of the above. Also use this option if you want a field to appear on the registration form, i.e. you want an entry from a person who is not already a member. - By clicking the "+ Add more options" button, you can further specify the custom field: - **For all types** - Displayed Field Name: If you want to show users a different field name on the platform than the one you specify in the settings. - Help Text Below the Field: A help text providing additional context for the members filling it out. - Placeholder Text: A hint value that appears in the background of an empty field. - Mandatory to Fill: The field can be required for everyone (anyone) or limited to members, team admins, or platform admins. - Suffix: Useful for units (e.g., kg, cm, m, etc.) and is displayed after the field and its value. - Internal Note: Visible only to platform admins within the custom fields module. - **Text (Single-line)** - **Minimum and Maximum Text Length**: Limit the entered value by the number of characters. - **Regular Expression**: A regex used to validate the entered value. - **Text (Multi-line)** - **Minimum and Maximum Text Length**: Limit the entered value by the number of characters. - **Number (Integer)** - **Minimum and Maximum Value**: Restrict the entered value within a specified range. - **Number (Decimal)** - **Minimum and Maximum Value**: Restrict the entered value within a specified range. - **Step Size of the Counter**: Define the increment/decrement value for the counter. - **Selection from Options – when the option to allow multiple selections is enabled** - **Minimum Number of Selections**: You can define the minimum number of options the user must select. - **Maximum Number of Selections**: You can define the maximum number of options the user can select. - **Date** - **Maximum Possible Date**: If you want to limit the date selection from the top (i.e., restrict future dates). - **Minimum Possible Date**: If you want to limit the date selection from the bottom (i.e., restrict past dates). - Choose whether you want to display the new custom field for users to fill out in the selected forms. The options are: - In the form for new member registration - In the data verification form - Press the OK button to save the custom field. ## Where custom fields appear - You can only record these fields in the Managment section in the member detail on the Custom Fields tab, i.e. without the need to fill in values from the member. - If you have selected that the field is also visible to the member, they will see it on the Member **Profile screen.** - If you have selected to display the field on the registration form, it will be displayed to newly registering members on that form. - Custom fields can only be added to members and representatives at this time. But we are planning to extend their use for e.g. events. ## **Manage custom fields** - **Sorting:** you can sort custom fields in the list using drag-and-drop. Grab the left edge of the row with the custom field and move it to the desired location in the table - **Edit and delete:** Custom fields can be edited or deleted at any time if the user has permission to do so. A deleted custom field disappears from all members to which it is assigned, including all stored values! ## **Permissions and access** To manage custom fields, permissions to the **Settings** and **Members** modules are required.
