Header Fields

Enter a code from UDC table H00/DS to specify the format of a data type. This code determines the display mode for supplemental data. Values for the code and narrative format are:

C: Code. This mode displays the form for entering code-specific information. Code-specific information might be associated with the User Defined Codes table (F0005).

N: Narrative format. This mode displays the form for entering narrative text.

Other formats are:

P: Program.

M: Message. This mode displays the form for entering code-specific information. The system can validate the code values that you enter against values in the Generic Message/Rates table (F00191). This code is not used by the Human Capital Management or Financial Management system.

Enter a one- or two-character code that identifies a particular type of supplemental data. You can either create a new data type in this field or enter an existing data type. For example, a construction company might create data types for daily logs (DL), ground conditions (GR), and legal descriptions (LG).

Enter a number that specifies the order in which you want a group of data types to appear on the Work With Supplemental Data form.

Enter a code from UDC table 00/CL that identifies a group of data in the Central Information File. Values are:

APP: Application call

NAR: Narrative

PUR: Products purchased

Enter a value in this field if you want to categorize your data types by the kind of information that they contain. For example, if you have data types that use both narrative and code formats and that contain information about products purchased, you might want to assign the same data classification to the data types.

Enter a code from UDC table 01/ST that specifies the type of address book record to search for. Examples include:
