Partial Date fields – Individual Records offer a number of partial date fields, including Birth Date, Married Date, Baptism Date, etc. These fields allow you to track the month and day of an individual’s birth date, but not the year.
Time- a time find interface simplifies finding a time. Up and down arrows for hour, minute, and am/pm allow you to select the time via the mouse or you can enter simply type in the time.

List - Perhaps the most useful and timesaving find interface is the list interface. The list interface appears for many types of fields, including built-in codes (such as Family Status, Mailing Code or Ledger Entry Type), user-defined groups, which are available on Addresses, Individuals, Visitors and Giving Units, and a variety of other fields in CDM+, such as giving funds in Contributions. When you select a field that uses this list interface, a small down arrow appears next to the entry field. Click the arrow to display the list. Click the box or boxes of the items you wish to include and click OK. To find records that have nothing entered in the field, click the checkbox for <blank>.
