Our ward uses, (1) sports ability (2) music ability, (3) special training, and (4) food speciality: Talents and Interes is "alread" selectable for "MLS Custom Reports". Once entered, any new ones like (1) thru (4) become available for any Custom Report.

Any Talents and Interests that are to be "added" to a member, "must" first be in the visible list...There are only about 20 of these that come with the MLS system...By going to the bottom of the page, there is an "ADD" buttom. Click on this, and you can add as many as needed...depending on the input from each ward member. When selecting Custom Fields, select one of them then fill in the space (a box) with info collected for any ward member.
