In addition to the existing fields on the People Screen, you can also create and edit individual and family User-Defined Fields for your church database. You can create an unlimited number of these custom fields.
A User-Defined Field is a custom field that you add to your church database. This allows you to store information on your church members that you need.
To create a new User-Defined Field, select the "Setup" tab on the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then choose "User Defined Fields."
Next, choose which type of field you want to create: individual (information only applies to the individual person) or family (information applies to the entire family) and then select "Add a New Field" to customize it.
Then, select your Field Type.
Under the "Who Can View This Field?" setting, you can choose between "All ChurchTrac Users" or "Only Selected Users."
If you select "Only Selected Users," you will need to manually add the users who should have access to that Field.
When "Only Selected Users" is chosen, those fields will appear under your Settings → User Accounts → People and Families → "User Defined Fields" permissions for each user. Any calendars not restricted to specific users will be accessible to all users. Learn more about User Account Permissions ›
Your ChurchTrac account comes with a few user-defined fields. We added these to show an example of what you can create for your church.
You can remove them by going to the User-Defined screen in the People feature. Choose each field you want to remove, then select the delete button in the bottom-right corner of the flyout menu (it looks like a trashcan).
As many as you need! You can create custom fields that appear in either the individual section of a person's profile, or in the family section.
