Adding fields named veteran and branch to person profile?

Post by carpy01 »

I would like to keep track of all members who served in the military.
I note there are five user fields, would these fields be the best to assign to "Veteran" (yes or no) and "Branch" with pull down with branch name?
Thank you before hand for your help.

You could possibly just combine the two into a single Veteran field, with NONE (no value assigned to a person) serving as the Veteran: No option. Having one of the branches of military assigned to someone in that field would be the equivalent of Veteran: Yes.

Thank you for your response.
Is there a way to change field "user1" to veteran?

Go to File -> Preferences -> Personal Profiles Setup, find the CODES tab. You can change all the user defined data item names there
