Wondering if anyone has found a way to make sub-categories in a UDF. We use NAICS codes to categorize businesses by industry type but want to be able to drill down on certain industries. We wanted to see if there is anyway to make sub-categories in a UDF field or if there is a better way to track this.

    Julia Wojnar‍ when you add a UDF, you can then add a New Field. This would then be a sub category. You can then take this a step further and add a Value. I would consider these nested fields or sub fields.


    Example: I created the UDF Featured in Print. A New Field under Featured in Print would be Featured Highlights. In the Featured Highlights, I then have added values of Ministry Highlight, In the Life of, Keeping her name Alive, etc. Does this help??
