Database field customization is one of the most important features of this program and the secret of its versatileness. This feature clearly separates our software from others. Having full control over all aspects of the database is even more important. Therefore, we offer you the ability to design your own "services and systems" by having unique databases.

Not only you can set the database field name, you can decide which messages to display in case of an error, you can determin form field types, i.e. whether it is a popup menu or a text field, whether it is required or optional, whether its input can be anything or just numbers, the choice is yours.

Getting started

In order for you to start, here is how to get there. In your admin area, click on "database fields" link, select a database you want to edit:

1. Member Database

In member database are all fields you collect information during the member registration. Later, the member can edit and update this information in the members control panel, update profile section.

2. Ad Database

In ad database are all fields you collect information during the ad posting process. Later, the member can edit and update this information in the members control panel, ad center section.

Once you selected a database and clicked submit, you will arrive on the database field list page. On this database page, you will see every database field with an option to edit them according to your needs. Click on a field and let me explain what each option does.
