13.1 Custom Fields/Employee Fields
Custom Fields
Accessed via ‘Setup’ on the menu then ‘Custom Fields’, this window has various options for customizing fields and labels.
Employee Fields
Custom ‘Employee Fields’ are shown on the Employee Details window and allow you to save customized information for each employee. The label or name for each field can be entered in the first text box. (These options will be available for reporting and exporting purposes.) Note if you wish to enter ampersand (&) in the name you will need to enter double (&&).
If the field is set to ‘Required’ the operator will be forced to complete the information in the field before they can ‘Save’ data they’ve just entered.
If the ‘Set Selection’ check box is selected, the operator will not be able to type in their own information in this field for the employee in the Employee Details window, they will have to choose from the list of predefined options. To add an entry to this list, type in one of the options in the ‘Update Set Selections’ box and click on ‘Save’.
If ‘Allow Duplicate’ is checked then duplicate field entries will be allowed.
Placing a check in the ‘Hide’ column for a field will prevent the field from displaying for users. Users who should be able to view hidden fields must be members of a User Group where ‘Show Hidden’ is applied on the Employees tab.
