Custom fields and tabs

Custom fields allow you to register additional data in Isah, for example part colors, part standards such as DIN and ANSI, social media accounts, GPS coordinates of objects, etcetera. The option is intended for application administrators who want to make fields available throughout the company. The custom fields are displayed on a custom tab for one or more entities of your choice, for instance on the Customers and Suppliers forms. You can add translations of the field descriptions.

Field types

You can use custom fields to enter, change or view data. The procedure is the same as for informational standard fields in Isah. Various types of custom fields are available, including 'Alphanumeric' for input fields supporting both letters and numbers, and 'Time' and 'Date'. To create a drop-down list box, choose the type 'Option' and create the list of options. You can add translations of the option descriptions.

You can use a custom field of the 'Selection form' type to open a form by using Lookup with Edit mode enabled (lookup), for example the Customers form. If you define such a field, two fields are available in the Field chooser of the custom tab, each of which you can add to the tab: one field containing the code, and another field containing the name or description of the relevant selection form.

Selecting forms on which a custom field should be available

If you have created a custom field, click the Entities button to specify the forms on which the field must be available.

Rights to use custom fields

You can grant users rights to use custom fields on custom tabs when you link a custom field to a group.
