The eight User Defined Fields are found on the Special Page of the Main Data Screen. These fields allow you to modify The Union Organizer to better meet the specific needs of your organization. Perhaps you need a field that The Union Organizer doesn't include, or maybe you need to track some highly specific data over a short period. Assign these fields as you see fit.

All eight fields are of character type, the first four being two characters long, and the second four being twenty characters long. You may not change this.

The field Description is the text of the Hint Boxes for these fields (those little yellow info boxes that pop up when you move the mouse pointer over things).
