Your program can now track the age of your Group Identifiers. This new field type will translate date of birth to age. 

This article will walk you through the steps for:
 

• Creating the new field type
• Converting date of birth fields to age 

Creating the Current Age Field

First, you’ll need to create the new age field in your Group(s): 

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, select Groups.
   
   
2. Find the section called Manage Groups and use the drop-down to choose the group you’d like to work on.
   
   
3. On the top-right, use the More menu to click Manage Profile Layouts and Fields.
   
   
4. On the next page, use the More drop-down menu and select Create a New Field.
   
   
5. The Create a New Field window will open.
   
   
   
6. After giving the field a name and assigning the field to all appropriate groups, you will choose the Field Type: Current Age (Converts birth date to age in years).
   
   
7. Complete the Create a New Field window and click Create.

Remember you can move newly created Fields to any custom panel (or to a subpanel in the Assignment Details panel) just by dragging and dropping.
