Design Help
July 22, 2009, 09:34:36 am
Is there a place where I can find out information on how other non-profits set up their Groups, subgroups, tags?...  I read thru Real WOrld Examples in the CiviCRM Book, which was super helpful but I need some ideas on what the best way is to set up my data in CiviCRM based on all the training I've read so far... does this make sense?...  I think I might need to spend a 1/2 day with someone who's been down this road before for their organization...  any ideas?
 thanks!

The "thinking about your data" chapter would  also be helpful for you to read, as it talks through the various options for handling data, and some of the steps you should take in setting up a migration plan.

I agree. It is hard to really grasp how everything works just from reading manuals. In my opinion, anyhow. Consulting with a professional or with a CiviCRM site manager, i.e. someone who runs a real site, would probably be well worth your time.
