You may use the User definable Fields to create fields unique to your facility. You may also attach a table to allow for drop-down list selection(s) using the User Definable Tables option.
These fields and tables are available in areas of the software. i.e., Personnel, Schedules and system configuration menus.
The User Definable Fields option is used to activate and define up to 20 additional user fields for use on the Personnel, Labour Class and Schedule menus. The field is defined first, then define the table to be associated with the new field.
▪Select the Config menu. ▪Select the Setup menu.
▪Select User Definable Fields.
You have the option of setting up user defined fields in three areas of the software. Some of these fields can be associated to a table and allow selections to be made from drop-down lists.

▪Click Apply to save your new fields or edits.
On the employee's profile we can now see our new field and the associated drop-down list from the table.
