A church's SQL Administrator can add fields to pages. For details, see Custom Fields under the Pages section. Alternatively, you can request our assistance, and we will be glad to help!
All MinistryPlatform Users we train know that we explain our "Pages" as nouns and our "Buttons" as verbs. The phrase "nouns are down the left, and verbs are across the top" is said in every basic training and most demos. If we extend this grammatical metaphor, new fields that you add to pages can be thought of as adjectives. They further describe the record. For example, if you want to track "T-Shirt Size" for each Contact record, then adding a text field called Contacts.TShirt_Size to the database makes sense.
In language, having too many or redundant adjectives is a bad idea. Often what you need is a period and a new sentence. Contact Support for expert advice on avoiding getting too wordy in your database!
