NOTICE:
These features are considered to be advanced development tools built in the program and are documented sufficiently for an experienced programmer or someone proficient with database design. Some sample forms and reports are provided which can be used as-is, modified for your needs, or studied as examples.
Our normal technical support will answer basic questions about the capabilities of these functions, but we cannot explain detailed examples or provide training for expressions programming, or debug changes that you've made. It can take some time to learn the details of these functions, even for experienced programmers, since they use a unique "language".
The ability to add fields to the existing pre-defined tables like Customers, Reservations, Sites, etc, is usually enough to meet the customization needs of a typical campground. However, we have added the ability add completely new tables to the database so its functionality can expand just like any general-purpose database system (Access, SQL, etc). The most common use of this will be to add your own Pick Lists, i.e. to add a field for which specific values can be selected rather than allowing the user to enter any text.
When you add a new Table, you will of course also be able to add whatever Fields you want to it, and also set up links to it from other tables (Relationships).
As with all advanced customizations, this requires a rather technical understanding of the system as well as database functions in general.
