User-Defined Fields

Top Previous Next

What are User-defined Fields? User defined fields also known as custom fields is a feature which allows you to create new fields to store additional information. While these user-defined fields serve the same purpose as the standard fields or pre-defined fields the most important difference is that user defined fields can be created on the fly while standard fields are created when programming.

 

Use user-defined fields for anything you want to track.

 

The database has been extended with the following new Goal fields.

 

User Date 1 thru User Date 50

Use to track dates

User List 1 thru User List 30

Used to track a list of values

User Number 6 thru User  Number 86

Used to track numbers

User WhoID 1 thru User WhoID 15

Used to track additional People that may or may not be in your database. Using the Who ID behaves like the Who Field in ManagePro where you make assignments to records

UserWho1 thru UserWho5

Used to track people and behaves like the Creator field in ManagePro. Unlike the WHO ID, the UserWho will not display a Who dialog window where assignments are made

UserResults1 thru User Results 10

Used when you want the Results of a Goal to reflect the same value as the Results of a Progress Update. Behaves like the ManagePro Results Fields in Goals and Progress Updates. For example, when a progress update results field is updated from let's say 50% to 80%, the Results field in the related goal will reflect the same. In short, changes that you make to either one of the Data Types will show the same value.

User Text 1 thru User Text 5

Can be formatted as Plain Text (single field) or RTF field (multi-line) field

Common Date, Common List, Common Number and Common Text fields

Can be used on Goal Details window and when populated will carry over data to other data-types such as Todos, Events and Progress Updates

 

Progress Updates also include: UserResults1 thru User Results10

 

Where can I find  User-defined Fields

If you are a user with an Administrator User Access, you can find User-defined fields under the Program Button in MP8.
