πŸ“™ Note: Before you dive into Field Groupings, be sure you have a good understanding of Field Management.

What are Field Groupings?

Field Groupings are how Element451 groups together related Fields. This makes it easier to:

  • Manage the data within that grouping

  • Add related Fields to Forms, Events, + Applications


List of Field Groupings

An example of a field grouping is the Home Address grouping, which contains all fields that are related to the address:

  • Address Type

  • Country

  • Address Line 1

  • Address Line 2

  • City

  • State

  • Zip/Postal Code

  • Whether or not this is the mailing address.

For a complete list of available field groupings in Element451, check out our Data Library (User Profile and Education/Schools).

At the top, use the filter to select a grouping.


Adding Field Groupings to Forms, Event, + Applications

Utilize groupings to quickly add large groups of fields at one time to your Forms, Events, and Applications.

If you don't want to display all of the grouped fields, edit the Grouping by selecting the pencil icon. Modify which individual fields are visible and required:


Editing Field Groupings

Field Groupings are editable via the Field Management module. Change the underlying Data Source on select Field Groupings.
