Hi there,

My client runs an outdoor activities club. I've set up a membership signup form for him, part of which contains a profile with a bunch of custom data fields (eg: what kinds of activities the members are interested in, whether they want to receive the newsletter, etc.).

I wanted to know how he can search for members according to the information found in custom data fields in the profile. For example, if he wants to find all members interested in Hiking, or if he wants to find all of those who want to receive the newsletter, how would he go about doing that?

Right now, I see that if you go to Memberships->Find Members, you can search according to:
-Member Email,
-Member Type,
-Member Status,
-Source,
-whether it's a Pay Later or Test Membership,
-Join/Start/End Dates

but there's nothing else that was included in the profile that you are able to search for. How can I get this to work?

Thanks,

Patricia
