This is the Add/Edit/View Custom Data screen. Custom Data fields are available to allow Users to enter additional information relating to the current module which may not fall into any of the pre-defined fields for that module. Like Add/Edit/View Documents, the ability to provide Custom Data is available in the majority of modules throughout the system. Here is an example:

Within each Custom Data List are 15 "UD" (User Defined) fields numbered from 1 to 15. Each of these fields can be populated simply by double clicking them or selecting them and clicking the "Edit Item" button. A separate window called "Custom Item" appears and it will display the selected UD field and a text box to enter the desired information. Once the correct information has been entered, click "OK".

Each UD field is limited to 50 characters.

After populating the required "UD" fields, click the "Save" button to apply the changes to the system. Click "Cancel" to close the window without saving.
