24 What are UDFs?

25 UDF = User Defined Field Names, Courses, Registrations & Instructors have UDF options

26 Activate and label

27 Want to Validate Data entry? Validate a field by placing a + sign in front of the label in preference. On the record, click the plus sign to build your list.

28 A note to system admins: Establish a policy in your organization that encourages people to use the preferences, but also limits who and when preferences are altered. Too many cooks spoil the broth!
