Creating and Managing Fields

This article is no longer relevant. See the articles below for information for creating and managing fields in your Impact Suite. 

There are three types of fields in a reporter's profile:

1. Custom Fields - You and your program create these fields to collect any information on your reporters you wish, they are entirely customizable. 
   • See this article on understanding and managing Custom Fields. 
   • See this article for more information on: creating panels, sub-panels, context blocks, and fields.
     
     
2. Standard Fields - These fields are defaults and connect to essential system settings, so they have fewer options for customization. Access guidance on understanding and managing Standard Fields here. 
   
   
3. Type 1 Associations - these are fields that create custom "tags" for reporters that can be used to categorize and target reporters in different ways throughout the system.  Access guidance on understanding and managing Type 1 Assocations here.)
