CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi SparrowEco
You can create any custom data fields you like (including contact reference) simply through the UI and create forms based on combinations of these and standard fields either through profiles or using the Drupal Webform integration http://drupal.org/project/webform_civicrm
which may be easier if your experience is more with Drupal than Civi.
You can then create further profiles to expose parts of the entered data to those or other users giving them a restricted view of the complete data if required. Again you can also do this through Drupal using views - this would also give you the search feature through exposed filters. And if you take that route, http://drupal.org/project/views_pdf will be your friend for the final part of the puzzle.
Can't see anything that would be a problem here.
