At the chapter management level, the user can create custom tables that can be associated with people, businesses, families, or volunteers. Within these tables, the user can define the types of information to be retained (fields). The user can choose between many field types, including yes/no, one-of-many lists, text fields, numerical and currency fields, date fields, and a “blog” field. The blog field allows the user to maintain an on-going historical dialog. The tables and fields are managed through a simple user interface. The user can create as many tables and fields as necessary to track the information relevant to their non-profit.

Users can create custom searches and reports based on the personalized table information that they create.
