    Keeping custom information on students?

    Our student ministry has so much to offer to kids relationally, but struggles with keeping  up with useful data because we don't have a good way to manage it in F1.  Of course we can keep up with all the normal items, such as name, email, phone, address, IM name, etc.  What about things like sports played, favorite food/drink, etc.?  Is there a way to begin to capture these things and be able to use them?  I would almost like them to be an additional attribute but doing so would really be too broad (I think).  Has anyone solved this challenge?

    You're definitely on the right track - individual attributes are the way to go for this type of information.  You can have attribute groups such as Sports Played, Favorite Food/Drink, etc.  Then you can associate these attributes to the appropriate individuals.  Individual attributes can also be easily associated to individuals when you're entering the Visitor card (Contact Form).

    With the new release of Individual/Household 2.0, Individual Attributes for an individual will be easier to view.  If you haven't done so already, check out the preview of the new functionality.
