Add "Other Education" Option to Member Directory by Search

Sara Anderson

Our organization needs to have the option "Other Education" to be one of the available choices to display in the Member Directory - Search. We are already using "College" for a different purpose. This new option will allow our members to display their college/university.

Hi, we just requested that Almabase create a field for us as well. A new field is always preferable to repurposing a field to me as a long-time data manager, because inevitably, you will need the field that you repurposed. I was told that if the new field does not have to connect to Raiser's Edge, this process really was not a problem for Almabase. YES I totally agree that there should be customizable fields in addition to those provided by Almabase. There is no way that anyone can begin to capture the needs of so many institutions. Ha! my 2 cents!

Why can't admin choose which fields they want in the Member Director - Search? It should be totally customizable!
