How to create a new CiviCRM Profile Field - Field Name?
August 06, 2009, 03:49:00 pm
Hi All,
I'm creating a form for visitors to fill out. And I'm using the civicrm profile field - field name - register date  to have visitors tell us when they plan on arriving but I want to add another field name called departure date that tells us what day they plan on leaving. I can't find out where I go to add new field names?
I imagine this is pretty easy but i'm stuck. thx, jayson

You have  "register date" field in profile, I guess it is a custom date field.

so to add another date field -
go to ->  Administer CiviCRM -> Custom Data -> click   "View and Edit Custom Fields" for your custom data group -> click "New Custom Field" to add custom date field.

Now you have date field you need to enable this field for profile
go to  Administer CiviCRM -> CiviCRM Profile -> click "Fields" for your profile -> click "New CiviCRM Profile Field"  and select your custom date field.

also you might want to take a look for related documents

Create Profile and Add Fields

hope this help
