Work with User Fields Screen

Purpose: Use the Work with User Fields screen to enter, change, delete or display information in user-defined fields.

The user-defined fields are created through Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF). You can create fields for whatever type of additional information you want to add to the available tables.

How to display this screen:

• Select User Defined Opt. for a record at each of the “Work with” screens where user-defined fields are available (see Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF) for a listing), or

• Select Customer User Defined Fields at the More Customer Sold To Options Screen (see Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST))

Also, this screen may appear automatically when you enter an order for a new customer through Order Entry. See Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF) for more information.

Note: Only fields identified as “input” fields appear during Order Entry; however, you can display all fields (“input” and “output”) wherever else this screen is available.

Change User Field Screen

To change: Select Change for a user field at the Work with User Fields Screen to advance to the Change User Field screen. At this screen, you can:

• enter information in the field, or

• change information in the field, or

• delete information in the field

About this screen: This screen and the Display User Field screen each contain a Key field. This field indicates the sequence number assigned to the field through the Work with User Defined Field Detail Screen (Defining the Fields). This field varies, depending on the type of user-defined field you are working with. See Setting Up User-Defined Fields (WUDF).

Because each field on a User Fields Screen is user-defined, the Key field helps you identify the specific field you want to use. This is necessary, for example, if you are writing your own program or Query that includes a specific field.

See Work with User Fields Screen for remaining field descriptions.
