Irene's blog for the Edinburgh CiviMeetup on 20 February

5 years 5 months ago

Attendees represented developers, new and potential CiviCRM users, a good mix of experience.  Topics covered included webforms, focussing on conditional fields.  We also looked at webform layout, which allows the placing of webform fields inside boxes.  The fields can then be arranged into rows and columns.

 

We then looked at the contact summary, showing how all contact involvement can be accessed from this one screen.  This led on to a discussion about how CiviCRM, as an Open Source system evolves and grows.

Creating effective duplicate rules is often more art than science.  You want to hit the sweet spot between removing the possibility that contacts are overwritten incorrectly, and setting the rule so restrictively that contacts are more frequently duplicated than not.
