Custom fields

Use this form to create custom fields for use throughout the company. To create a field for data that supplement the standard Isah fields, you need to:

Use the Field type field to specify the type of custom field you want to create:

Option	This creates a list box. Click the Options button to create the pick list with all available options. For the 'Part color' field, for instance, you would add all the colors the user can choose from.
Boolean	Fields of this type allow the user to indicate whether or not the information item applies, for example 'Diploma obtained'.
Numeric	Fields of this type support a maximum of nine digits before the decimal point, and three digits after the decimal point.
Alphanumeric	Possible input values for this field type include letters, numbers and characters such as a forward slash ('/').
Date	Fields of this type allow the user to select a date from a calendar.
Time	Fields of this type allow the user to enter a specific time.
Duration	Fields of this type allow the user to specify a duration in hours and minutes.
Selection form	Fields of this type allow the user to open another form and select a value. Note: If the value is removed from this other form at a later time, the software will not check whether the value is used in custom fields. This means it is possible that a selected value is no longer valid. For example, you could add the custom field Quality assistant to the Parts form, allowing the user to click to open the Employees form and choose an employee. If this employee is no longer part of the workforce, his or her name will still be displayed in the custom field.
