By default there are only a few Fields available when adding a new Person to 1Place. If you want to record additional information (like date of birth, gender, parent / caregiver contact details) the best option is to create People Custom Fields. You can find this menu via 'Settings > People > People Custom Fields.
Adding Custom Fields
Once you've gone to the correct page, you can add a Custom Field by clicking the green '+ Add New Custom Field'.
You start by adding in the name (/label) for the Custom Field, and then selecting the correct Field Type:
String; You can record data with a limited number of characters here.
Textarea; You can record a large amount of characters here.
Date;
Datetime;
Time
Numeric
Boolean (true / false)
Select; Once you've chosen this option, you can choose between 'Select' and 'Select Many'. After that you can list the options, and change the order in which these appear.
Sort Custom Fields
After adding all your Custom Field, you can change the Sort Order if required. This page uses 'drag-and-drop' which means you click on hold the mouse button and then move fields up and down.
