Type

User-defined fields may be Alpha, Date, or Numeric.

• The Alpha type is used for text fields.

• The Date type is used if the field will contain numerical dates.

• The Numeric type is used for fields that contain dollar amounts or numeric figures.

Prompt

The field title (for example, DUE DATE) displays.

Company

The company code associated with the user-defined field displays.

Mask

Amount type fields may include an alignment mask, which will display in this column. When a report is initially created, the software suggests the display code, but the default may be overwritten. If the field length is changed after creating the report, the corresponding display code must also be changed. Appropriate codes are shown here.

Validated?

Only Alpha type fields may be validated. If the person who set up the codes chose to have the software validate this field, this column will display "Yes."

Status

User-defined fields may be set to Active or Not used. This status assignment can then be used to determine which records display in the list box.
