The Field Sets were originally part of Data Extraction Formats, under the choose what to print section.  These have been separated from the Data Extraction Formats, with an option to select which field set is linked to the format.  The Field Sets are used through out the system, to determine what to display or report/extract. Projects will also utilise the Field Sets, to determine what fields are required for the service.  The individual user record specifies which projects the user can access.  The system will look at the users available projects to display the fields required. The user will not be displayed fields that are not required by the project.

Field Sets

Field Sets are used through out the system, to:

1) Add sets of extra fields to reports/extracts.

2) Choose which fields are required for projects.

3) Determine which fields are visible on organisation and people records. Because the user record specifies which projects a user can access, the system will look at the user's available projects to display the fields required. For example, a user who only has access to a telephone befriending project might only see the name and telephone fields of the person they befriend, because the befriending project only uses a Field Set called "Name and number".
