Fields and related tables

• Item - Its name. 
• Description - The description of the item, job etc. 
• URL - An optional link off to a site with more information. 
• Contact name, email, phone and address - The basic contact information so interested folks have somewhere to inquire. 
• Date posted - When it was entered into the system. 
• Display to - You can have these adds roll off after a certain date.  That's what this is for.
• Church - The church it is associated with (optional)
• District - Not all may have this field but it allows you to associate the ad with a district so that it can be found on the /districts/detail page and/or allow users to browse for items by district
• Make inactive - Checking makes the item invisible
• Needs approval - Many organizations allow users to submit classified ads via the web and this flag is checked by default and alters the content admins that there are items that require approval.  Use the search in the Web Console to find all items where needs approval = yes.  Then, possibly even save this search so it's always easily availble.
