Extra Value Summary Reports

The Extra Value summary reports list every Extra Value field in use, so you can see what exists and how often it is used.

  • People > Reports > Extra Values > People

  • People > Reports > Extra Values > Family

  • Involvements > Reports > Extra Values > Involvements

  • Involvements > Reports > Extra Values > Meetings

Each report shows the following columns:

  • Name - click the name to see the records that have that Extra Value

  • Value

  • Data Type

  • Count - the number of records that have that Extra Value

  • Standard - indicates whether the field is a Standard Extra Value

Users with the Admin role also see action buttons for each field:

  • Standardize - make an ad-hoc Extra Value a Standard Extra Value

  • Rename - rename the Extra Value on every record

  • Delete - delete the Extra Value from every record

Warning

Rename and Delete change every record that has that Extra Value.
