just tested the sandbox,

added an activity to

https://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=157

1. when i input the data for the custom information , which in this case is interview, details of interview,  it doesn't save this information.

2. will i be able to have this information put into one of the tabs?
3. can i add profile fields to an activity?  ( why would i want that.. this allows me to ask certain important questions from different tabs, in one area.

Thanks for your quick response..follow up question


4. regarding the custom data in the activity, I've noticed in the import activity, doesn't' have the custom activity there, does this mean i cant import custom data information for activity?

5. on that note. i dont see a way for me to import, the following fields:
    "added by"
    "details"

6. looking back to item #3 below, i am trying to think of ways, where i can have one form for our staff to fill out, after completing an interview, instead of going through all the tabs and editing their information.  i was thinking of creating interview as an event, and then have all the fields that i want updated as a custom profile,  have the staff member register for this "interview event" and fill out all the information,  but the problem is, if i am not logged in as the user, i  wont see any information thats already existent and i'll have to have registration open to non registered users.   Is there way for an admin to log in as another  user ( a registred member)  with an admin password?


thank you

Regarding items 4 and 5 - I think the missing fields and the inability to import custom fields should be addressed and I've re-opened the Activity Import issue:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2456

Regarding item 6 - An admin / permissioned user can access other contact's records that they would normally have permission for using profile/view or profile/edit.  You can try this by logging in to the sandbox and going to: http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=1&id=55

However, I'm pretty sure this capability is not enabled for Event Registration.
