FieldMaker Features and Benefits

FieldMaker provides FIMS users with the ability to add an unlimited number of fields to one or more of the major FIMS outer modules. We have highlighted some of the features and benefits of this module below. For a more complete description of what FieldMaker has to offer, please download our product sheet.

• Integrates with FIMS outer modules: FieldMaker integrates seamlessly with FIMS outer modules: Profiles, Gift and Donor, Pledges, Grantee and Grants, Scholarship and Funds. This integration allows users to use FIMS more efficiently in a familiar environment. Now when an organization wants to track the interest area of a donor, a field with user-defined codes specifying various interest areas can be added to the Profile module and Gift & Donor module. These codes can be modified, affording a flexible tool that extends the usefulness of FIMS.
  
  
• Easily maintain your FieldMaker fields: The FieldMaker maintenance system is a centralized system that allows the user to add, update and delete the user-defined field definitions. The FieldMaker module was designed to assist organizations that require more extensive coding systems. Maintaining the system, however, is not difficult.
  
  
• Customized screen layouts and placement within core modules: The user can define one or more screen layouts for the maintenance module’s user-defined file, such as a combo box, editor (character only), fill in, radio button set, selection list (character only), or toggle box (logical only). By associating a screen layout to a FIMS file, the user also can determine the module in which the screen layout will appear, such as in the Profile browser, Donor browser or Grantee browser. This flexibility further allows organizations to tailor FIMS to suit its needs.
  
  
• File Associations: File associations eliminate the need for separate user-defined files for unposted/history file pairs in FIMS, such as gift/gifthistory and application/apphistory/grants. File associations also provide the option to use the same user-defined file for closely related file pairs, such as Profile, Donor and Grantee.
