Custom fields are used when people are searching for a group to join from InFellowship. By default, groups already provide you with the ability to configure the group so that people looking to get connected can find groups based on gender preference, marital preference, age range preference, & childcare. However, there may be times when you need to create other custom fields for searching purposes. To create a custom field, follow these steps:
- Click Groups > Administration > Custom Fields
- Click Add
- Type Field Name
- Select Multi-select or Single-select option, depending on whether group will have multiple search categories or just one
- Optionally, type Field description
- Type option names
- Optionally, click up/down arrow to rearrange
- Optionally, click Add another
- Click Save custom field
Note: To apply these search categories, select the correct group type under Groups > Administration > Group Types. Then select Change Custom fields.
