User Defined Fields - Items

This page describes the User Defined Fields - Items setting in the CRM module.

---

The Item record is capable of storing a sufficient quantity of information to cater for most requirements. However, in some circumstances, it might be necessary to store additional information for which no fields have been provided. The User Defined Fields - Items setting allows you to add your own fields to each Item record for this purpose. The new fields will be visible on the 'User Values' card of each Item record.

To open the User Defined Fields - Items setting, first use the [Switch Module] button in the Navigation Centre to enter the CRM module. Then, if you are using Windows or Mac OS X, click the [Settings] button, also in the Navigation Centre or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcuts and then double-click 'User Defined Fields - Items' in the resulting list. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and tap 'User Defined Fields - Items' in the 'Settings' list. The 'User Defined Field Labels - Items: Inspect' window will open. Make changes as required and then click the [Save] button (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the change and close the window. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap < (iOS/Android).

When the 'User Defined Field Labels - Items: Inspect' window is empty as shown in the illustration above, the 'User Values' card of each Item record will be empty as well (the Notes field from the ?Notes? card will be visible instead):

Use the 'User Defined Field Labels - Items: Inspect' window to add fields to the 'User Values' card of each Item record, and to give names to those fields. You can add up to five text fields (fields that can contain letters and numbers), three value fields (fields that can hold numbers only) and three date fields. In this example, we have added two text fields, two value fields and one date field:

This is how they appear on the 'User Values' card of the Item record:
