User Defined Fields

Cable Management has drop-down fields in the Detail View area of the screen throughout the application. Some of these fields will appear with libraries of items already built in, while many will appear black.

•If a library of items is present and can be used, you may access it by making a selection.

•Alternately, if the drop-down is blank or does not contain needed information, use the Edit button next to the drop-down to type in the necessary information. Then click the Save button, ensuring that Cable Management adds this to the drop-down libraries and saves it for future use.

The link for User Defined Fields resides within the Tools section of the Cable Management Main Page menu. After clicking this, the Field Editor pop-up window appears. By using the drop-down field, you can select any field throughout the application that has a drop-down designation and edit capability next to it in the Detail area. Upon selecting the field for review from the drop-down list, all components for the field in use will appear in the box beneath the drop-down. The user can then correct an item spelling or completely change its properties. You cannot add an item to the drop-down within this section. This must be conducted using the Edit button in the Detail area.

Using the User Defined Fields tool creates widespread change for a given field. For example: If your company has all Dell computers and you complete a change to Toshiba computers, you can use this tool to highlight Dell and type Toshiba in its

NOTEplace, implementing a global change from Dell to Toshiba. This applies to all drop- down fields, but only those items in use will appear in this tool (although more items may be visible in the Detail area when the drop-down category is selected).
