Custom ID Fields From A User Perspective

What's The Point?

Custom ID Fields help users to control the amount of push notifications they receive from your club. When properly edited and utilized by you (the app's manager), users will only receive information pertaining to subjects they'd like to hear about.

What Are Custom ID Fields?

Custom ID Fields are either/or questions that you can place in the user profile section of your app. They are most commonly used for categories that most (if not all) users fall into, with subcategories within to narrow them down further. They can then be used when sending a Push Notification to send a message to a targeted audience.

Here are some ideas for Custom ID Fields:
  1. User Type
    1. Golf Member
    2. Social Member
    3. Guest
  2. Gender
    1. Male
    2. Female
  3. Region
    1. San Diego City
    2. East County
    3. North County
    4. South Bay
    5. Out-Of-Town
  4. League
    1. Monday Night Men's League
    2. Tuesday Night Co-Ed League
    3. Thursday Night Ladies League
