The different Record Types are the most fundamental way of categorising Organisations and People. For details of how Types work, see the Organisations And People section. The Customise Orgs & People lets you change the way that each Type works. You can:

• Activate new Types
• Rename Types
• Deactivate existing Types
• Create, edit and delete the Tabs which are shown on each Type's Details Screen
• Edit the fields which are shown on these tabs
• Edit which links should be shown at the bottom of the Details Screen

Types

Charitylog has the following preset Types. These are the standard names, but you can rename them if required.

• Clients
• Carers
• Donors
• Funders
• Next of Kin
• Organisations
• Professionals
• Referrers
• Staff
• Suppliers
• Trustees
• Volunteers
• Dependants (which replaces Carers, if you are using the carer version)
• Support Workers (if you have the Support Worker module, which allows you to create, manage and run support plans/workers)

There are also four customisable Types, which are inactive in a standard system, but can be activated (and renamed to suit) if required.

Renaming Types

To rename a Type, click the "Rename" button.
