Understanding User-Defined Information Entry for Employees
After you add an employee record, you can enter additional information for the employee that is unique to your organization or industry. For example, you might need to track the date that employees' drivers licenses expire.
Your software includes user-defined category codes and user-defined dates that facilitate tracking this information. You define these codes and dates when you set up your system. You can use this information for reporting and analysis purposes. For example, you can set up geographic data codes that you use to prepare unemployment reports.
When you define category codes and dates, you enter a name (label) for the information that you want to track. For example, you might enter drivers license expiration date for user-defined date field 1.
When you enter employee information, you attach a value from a category code or a date to the employee.
