Group Custom Fields
Custom Fields are designed to give ultimate flexibility in managing your data. When adding a custom field, you will create a database field that is available across all member records for tracking additional desired information. If there is certain information that you would like to track about representatives in your groups, you can add custom fields. View the video explanation.
