Create an Internal Field
An Internal Field allows you to add information about a registration for internal use only. You can use internal fields to track information such as date of last physical, team placement, eligibility, or any other information that you want to be able to view and share within your organization. You may also choose to associate the data you enter with future registrations for that participant.
NOTE: You now have the option to share internal field information with families as well. This feature will be touched on in Step 6.
