• If the field is visable for the talent

You can choose which fields you want to use in your talent database via our selection of fields.
There are fields where you can choose a value from a predefined set to be managed by you. For example, if your talent plays any instruments, you can manage the list a talent can choose from. The same selections can be used in the search function. In working with predefined selections, you increase the quality of the search for your casting as accidental misspelling or interpretation is excluded.
