   • Optionally, Enter
     • A Category (a folder if previously configured) if you want to organization many fields in to groups
     • How many times the field can be entered for a person
     • Who can see the field
     • Whether the field will be show on the directory by default (vs. on demand)
     • Whether the official can edit his/her own information for this field
     • Whether the field must be set for the official to be assignable
       • A threshold if the field is a number
       • A date if the field is a date.

From a listing of all fields for a single official, click on the value column to add a new value or edit an existing value for that person.

This data can also be viewed on the main officials directory and exported/imported along with the directory.

Additional Usage Tips

• Once the field has been displayed on the directory, an export of the directory will also include the info.
• Once the field has been displayed on the directory, you can re-open the search form to access additional function that allow you to further filter the directory based on the additional info.
• Once the field has been displayed on the directory and you have used the filtering functionality, you can then use the quick access buttons (the symbols in the column header for the names column) to email the displayed list of officials, the games assigned to the listed officials, or the game statistics for the listed officials.
