Add Needs

This page lets you load many needs at once for a given top folder. It helps you to create your needs from standard needs. When you can use the standard needs as much as possible, you get several benefits. See need consistency.

To use this page:

1. Select a top folder in the list and press "Go" (if one is not already selected). The standard needs available in this folder will be displayed in a list.
2. Check "Add It?" to mark a need to be added. Very popular needs will already have a check mark. If the need has already been added to your database, you'll see "Added" instead of a check box. You can use the "Check All" and "Clear All" buttons to check or clear all the check boxes in this column.
3. (Optional) Type in the name(s) of up to four of your own "custom" needs that you would also like added to this folder.
4. Then click the "OK: Add" button at the bottom to add all checked needs.

Later, you can change the folders and needs you just created (e.g. change the names, add subfolders, adjust values, etc.) from several locations, including the Need Properties pages or the Retrieve a Need page.
