Custom Fields
Each account in Tilma has basic fields that are common to the needs of most parishes such as Email, Gender, Date of Birth etc. If there is additional information you would like to collect that there is not already a field for, you can add your own.
New users will be prompted to fill out these custom fields when creating a new account or registering at your organization. You can also edit these fields in a user's account.
When to use Custom Fields
Custom Fields should only be used when you want to create decentralised data. The user will be prompted to fill in this field when they create an account, and will be able to edit this information at any time.
This may be useful when you are trying to collect something that only the user could tell you, such as their preferred language.
If you're trying to create a private field which only admins can view or edit, consider creating a Custom Attribute instead.
