Adding User Defined Fields

User defined fields of type Text, Date, and Number may be added to a Case Form. Follow the steps listed below to add a user defined field to a Case Form and/or confirm that the Case Form supports user-defined fields:

  1. In Argus Console, navigate to System Configuration > Field Labels.
  2. In the left-hand section, select a Case Form by clicking on its name.
  3. In the right-hand section with a title bar matching the selected Case Form, scroll down till the words "User Defined.." are visible in the Field Name column.
  4. Click on the desired Field Name.
  5. In the lower, right-hand section, make the appropriate corrections and save any changes.

Note:

Oracle Argus Safety controls the total number of User Defined Fields on any given Case Form by only allowing a single occurrence of each sequence number. Therefore, if "User Defined Number 1" is used, "User Defined Text 1" and "User Defined Date 1" cannot be activated. If a Date and/or Text field is desired the user must select from the fields that have a higher sequence number such as User Defined Date 2, User Defined Date 3, etc., thus always ensuring that the sequence number is unique.
