The Custom Field Description Dialog is used to create and modify custom field descriptions for a selected object type. This dialog can be accessed from the Custom Field Descriptions display when inserting a new description by selecting Records > Insert or modifying an existing description by selecting Show Dialog.
Object Name
Type of object for which the field is available. Select the type from the drop-down list or use the Find button to search through a list of available types. This field can only be set when creating a new description and cannot be changed once a description has been created.
Field Type
The three options for this field are Floating Point, Integer, and String. This is the type of value that will be used in the custom field. This field can only be set when inserting a new custom field description and cannot be changed once a description has been created.
Number of Type
This value determines how many fields of the particular Field Type will be available.
Clear Captions
Click this button to clear out any previously defined captions.
Field Captions
Specify the caption to use for each field. These captions will appear in lists of fields for objects such as the list of available fields used with Display/Column options. If a caption is not defined for a particular field, the default will be used. For example, if the Field Type is Integer and there are two fields defined, the Field Captions will be Integer 1 and Integer 2.
If captions are not defined for the fields and Header Captions are defined, the header captions will be used instead of the defaults.
Header Captions
Specify the caption to use for each field column header. These headers appear in the case information displays for the particular object type. If a header caption is not defined for a particular field, the default will be used. For example, if the Field Type is Integer and there are two fields defined, the Header Captions will be Cust Int 1 and Cust Int 2.
If captions are not defined for the headers and Captions for Field are defined, the field captions will be used instead of the defaults.
