Default Data Fields

Overview

New infoodle sites, and infoodle Trial sites will all have a set of Fields included by Default.
Some of these are System Fields, such as Names, Contact information and Addresses.
Others are People Custom fields, which can be edited or deleted as required.

As infoodle is a customisable dsoftware solution, users are also able to create and manage their own set of Custom fields, in order capture the data they need in various formats.

Including your own Custom Fields and Groups

Custom Fields

If you have fields of information that you wish to import which do not have an existing field in the database, then these fields should be created first before submitting the Data Files.
Creation of custom fields can be done via Administration > Custom Fields
The Column headers in the Data File should Match the Name of the Custom Field that they relate to.

Groups

If you wish to add People to Groups via import, then the Groups can be created before import the Data Files, or created during the import process.
An Example is adding a "Newsletter" Group which will be used to send our emailed or posted newsletters.

Creation of Groups and Subgroups is done via the Groups section of infoodle.
