Re: Question about Character Databases
Carly, that's what I did, too!

 Poor Witch: Characters Open in new Window. (18+)
Master Inventory of Characters
#1899617 by BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author IconMail Icon


I used Entry Format "Full Listing; 1 Entry Per Page"

I also created a character profile template, so that every time I "Add an Entry" the template is already pre-populated (see below) and I just fill in the blanks.

I created the pre-populated template using the "Manage Signatures" option in My Account -> Account Options. If you have a premium account, you can set individual "signatures" for each book in your portfolio, and I stored the character profile template as a signature in my Character Inventory book item.

For users who don't have a premium account, they could create the template in their NotePad  Open in new Window. and copy/paste it into new character entries.



***********TEMPLATE********
