How do I get the descriptive fields to display on UDF. It appears that I can only display fields from the same table?
You can display any field from any table on the User Defined Fields (UDF) Panel. For example, it is easy to display any asset field on the asset table UDF Panel by selecting ADD/Bar|Scan field. To show the associated catalog information (such as the Type and Description fields) from the Asset UDF screen you need to add Captions to the UDF screen consisting of expressions that evaluate to the desired value. For example, to add the Catalog Type field for display in the Asset UDF screen you could do the following:
- Open the Asset Table
- From the main menu select PANEL/Design or Edit Mode – User Defined Fields.
- Right click on any open area. A menu will appear.
- Select ADD/Caption. A dialog will appear where you enter the caption information.
- In the first field (labeled ‘Report Column Title;Screen Caption’) enter the following:
Catalog Type;Catalog Type:~ca.type~
To show description information you could enter
Catalog Description;Catalog Description:~ca.desc~
The key is that any expression you create must be between two tildes. All Bar|Scan fields are listed in the Bar|Scan User Manual’s Field Chart.
- Close the dialog by selecting ‘Ok’. It should start working immediately.
- Save the added caption by selecting ‘Save All’ from the UDF menu.’
Here is an example from the above selections.
You can add other types of associated fields as well. There are some restrictions, but the Asset screen should generally be good for most catalog, current organization, condition, status, owner, vendor, depreciation method, and lease information fields.
