Configuring User Defined Fields
The Oracle Argus Safety administrator can customize a user-defined field as a drop-down list. These drop-down lists may contain customized lookup data which can be independent of Oracle Argus data.
Use the following procedure to create a user-defined field.
- Identify the User Defined field in the CMN_FIELDS table.
- Create a custom table containing lookup information.
- Create a custom index and specify the required values for the table.
- Update the record in the CMN_FIELDS table for the User Defined Field.
- Create a Role and Synonym for the table.
- Restart IIS.
- Verify the update made in the application.
Consider the following example that show a sample set of scripts required to configure User Defined Fields as a drop-down list. Assume the requirement is for a User Defined Field (UDF) with the following features:
Requirement: A User Defined field SOURCE_OF_INFORMATION to be created, with
its drop-down values as Fax, E2B, Letter, Email and Telephone under Case
Form > General Tab > General Information
.
Attribute | Value |
---|---|
Field Name |
SOURCE_OF_INFORMATION |
Field Type |
Numeric (Text field type would not work) |
Drop-down Values |
Fax, E2B, Letter, Email and Telephone |
Field Location |
Case Form > General tab > General Information |
Use the following procedure to create a user-defined field:
- Login to
Oracle Argus Safety> Argus Console > System Configuration > Field Labels
. - Select User Defined Number <N> at desired page from tree shown in the left pane.
- Choose No at Hidden.
- Check Selectable.
- Click Add and specify items stored in the drop-down in both English and Japanese if the field is multi-language, otherwise specify only in the English text box.
Go to General tab > General Information
and check that the
configured user-defined fields display the updated drop-down text.
