Management fields allow you to create, update and delete columns for the client management database as well as choose what fields you would like to use when managing profiles. The fields you enable here only apply to management fields. If you wish to choose what fields to use for other accessories such as Update Details forms, Subscription forms, Product Management forms, Event Registration forms, etc you will need to use the appropriate component for those accessories.

Management fields are not section specific so can be changed from within any section opposed to other accessories where fields are enabled or disabled on a section by section basis.

From this screen the administrator can:

• Add additional database fields
• Change the field descriptions. The description is the visible label for the field.
• • This is section specific, so that the same database field can be renamed if required, in different sections
• Delete created fields. However default fields or fields that are being used by the system, cannot be deleted
• Change the order the fields display. The arrows will move items up or down the order
