7.1 About Administrator-Defined Fields

Administrator-defined fields allow you to add custom fields to inventory data. There are four types of fields:

  • User: Used for gathering demographic data about the workstation user through the Collection Data Form.

  • Workstation: Used for gathering demographic data about the workstation through the Collection Data Form.

  • Component: Used for defining inventory data about a component.

  • Product: Used for defining inventory data about a product.

The Administrator-Defined Fields panel shows the type of field and the number of defined values. When you create a User or Workstation field, it appears on the Collection Data Form as a field for workstation users to fill out. Component and Product field values are added to the properties of the component or product. You can change the field value of an individual component or product by performing a product or component search, clicking the product or component, and editing the field value on the Product Details page. For more information, see Section 9.0, Managing Component Data and Section 10.0, Managing Product Data.
