Records are how your data lives in Beacon.
Think about all of the different types of data you're working with each day:
- People
- Events
- Donations
- Campaigns
All of these can be stored as records in Beacon, saved and organised in one simple and secure place. You can access this data from any device or location.
How to create records
To create a new record, choose the People tab in the sidebar.
Don't worry if your sidebar looks a bit different to the picture above - your admins might have done some customisation.
Click Add Person, enter some details (you don't need to enter everything!), and click Create. That's it!
We've just created a Person record, but this approach is the same for every kind of record.
Updating records
It's simple to edit records once they've been created too. Just open up the record, and update the fields you want to change.
