When I go to Administer CiviCRM>>Custom Data I can see that the custom data groups I have are marked as Style "Inline" (and enabled).

The manual (p.63) suggests that I should be able to set this to "Tab", but I can't see where to do this. It doesn't appear to be an option in the settings associated with that Custom Data group and I can't see where I would set it in a new data group.

The same bit of the manual suggests that I should be seeing this data in the Summary tab, but I can't see it there either. These groups are enabled, and do have some data - so what obvious thing am I missing here?

Thanks. I had been looking in the right place, but couldn't see the option - realise now that it only appears where the custom data group is for certain types (e.g. individual) not for (as all mine were) memberships. I had assumed that the data collected when someone did a membership sign-up would be recorded against their contract record: I failed to understand that distinction.

For these data groups where you can't select Input/Tab is there any meaning to the "Input" type shown on the list of data groups or would be more accurate to say "Not applicable"?

Thanks.
