To insert a Custom Field

The Custom Field element allows you to add custom fields that are configured for your site in the Luminate Online Database Configuration. Custom fields vary from site to site.

  1. Click inside a new row and click the Custom Field button. The Add Custom Field Information dialog displays.

  2. In the Select a Custom Field Type to Add, select an option. A new drop-down list displays below it.

  3. Select a field for that category. Depending on which field you select, several formatting options display below it.

  4. You can select Hidden so that the field does not display to Constituents, or one of the available formatting options. A different dialog box displays depending on whether you selected a formatting option or Hidden (the formatting options vary from field to field):

    • If you select Text Field, the Text Field Properties dialog displays.

    • If you select Radio, the Radio Button Group Field Properties dialog displays.

    • If you choose Select, the Drop-Down Menu Properties dialog displays.

    • If you select Checkbox, the Checkbox Properties dialog displays.

    • If you select Hidden, the Hidden Field Properties dialog displays.

      • Note:

      Many fields in the properties dialogs are already completed depending on which field they belong to. For example, if you have selected a State field and a Select type, the Drop-Down Menu Properties lists all U.S. states.

  5. Configure the properties and click OK. The new field displays in the table.
