That's a good point Emily.
Chandan, is it possible to make the second page of custom fields?
Ie, my questions are:
1. What about the current custom fields don't meet GK's needs for tracking
the client family information?
2. Depending on what those gaps are, is it possible to instead work on
expanding the custom fields to meet those.
The advantage of this is it means that if GK has more client data they want
to get in the future, they can just add in more custom fields as opposed to
hiring a developer to put in one off changes. This is also something other
users of Mifos would probably be very interested in.
