The Activities field is designed to store information about a person's extra-curricular activities. You are provided a set of default menu choices for the Activities Menu when you first create a CMD file. You may modify any or all of these 300 possible menu choices, however, by using the Menu Items choice on the Preferences Menu. You may also modify the Activities list of choices by clicking the Edit Activities Pick List button on the dialog used to display and pick activities.

Since you may define up to 300 items for this menu, we suggest that you define activities for children, youth, and adults. The Child Registry page uses this field, as does the Offices Rap Sheet.

Since it is likely that a person may be involved in more than one activity, CMD allows you to store as many activities for a person that you would like. The activities associated with a person will be listed in the dialog where the selections are made, and then listed in the top, center portion of the Individuals Data area when the Activities label is selected.

Making Your Selections

To select Activities for a name, make sure the Activities label is displayed in bold letters. If it's not, click directly on the word Activities to select the Activities field. Next click the Click Here to Add Items button at the top of the list, which is located just to the right of the Offices, Talents, Activities, User 1, and User 2 fields. This will bring up a selection dialog that will allow you to add or remove activities from the list.

To add an item, highlight it on the left column and then click the Add Picks to (Name's) Selections button. Note that you can hold Ctrl to highlight more than one, and you can also hold the Shift key to select a range of choices.

If you wish to remove an activity from a person's list, click on the item in the right column labeled (Name's) Selections and then click the Remove Selected Item button.
