Fields: Name, address, phone, grade, gender, school, teacher/advisor, project name, category (I'll explain this one when we make this field). Other data: Entry date, fee paid, paper work received, ranking or award. Step 4. Making the database. Creating Fields. Radio Button Field Sometimes your field's data is an either - or choice. Gender is a good example. The data to be entered will be either female or male. Harness the radio button field to ease data entry and assure a consistent entry. Why is this an issue?
To resume adding fields: 1. Go .. Layout .. Define Fields 2. Enter Gender in the Field Name. 3. Change the Field type Popup menu to Radio Button. Click Create. 4. The Options for Radio Buttons dialog box will open.
Once you enter the participants in your database you can now Find for female or male. This will give you a number of participants for each gender. Go tell the School Board there is a 20% increase in female entrants with ease!
