Configure the availability of the custom field. This is configured in the Table field. On the forms associated with the tables chosen, you can place the custom field on a custom tab. A custom tab has its own program code, which allows you to use rights to configure which users can view or fill in the fields on the tab.
Configure whether the user is required to fill the field on the custom tab.
Specify a default value for the field, if required. The value is automatically entered in the field, but can still be changed by the user. The field type chosen on the Custom fields form controls where you can enter the value. If, for example, the field type is 'Numeric', only the Numeric field will be accessible on the Custom field entities form.
Use this field to configure the forms on which the custom field should be available. To use the custom field for your customer base, for instance, select the table on which the Customers form is based: T_Customer. You can now add the custom field to a custom tab of the Customers form. Create one line for every table.
Click to open the System tables form. You will see the Isah tables for all forms on which custom fields can be made available. A table will usually correspond with an Isah form, but some tables are used in more than one form. For instance, if you select the table T_DossierMain for the entity 'Sales orders', you need to make the custom field available for the following forms:
Tip: Sort by the Description column to show the table descriptions in alphabetic order (the table descriptions usually correspond with the form names).
If the field type on the Custom fields form is 'Numeric', you can specify the default number for the custom field. The value of the Number of decimal places field on the Custom fields form determines the maximum number of decimal places. If a user changes the default value on the custom tab, he will be restricted to the specified number of decimal places.
If the field type on the Custom fields form is 'Option', you can enter the default value for the pick list here. This value will then be used in the custom field by default. The user can choose a different value, if required. You can only choose one of the values defined for the custom field (by using the Option button) as the default value.
If the field type on the Custom fields form is 'Selection form', you can enter the default value for it here. This value will be used as the default value for the custom field, but the user can click to open the selection form and choose a different value on the List tab.
It should be noted that the default value and the value on the selection form are not linked. For example, you could create the custom field Quality assistant and then specify employee 'Johnson' as the default value. If employee Johnson leaves the company and is removed from the personnel records, he or she will still be the default value of the Selection form field.
