Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "In the previous recipe, we used a URL to access the profile we created, that is, civicrm/profile/create?gid=N&reset=1, where N was the ID of our profile."

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Navigate to Administer | Customize Data and Screens | Profiles and add a new profile that will contain the fields you wish to display on your directory."
