Field | Description |
---|---|
Sequence Number |
Enter the sequence in which you want the labels to display on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendor screen. Two rows cannot have the same sequence number; if they do, you cannot save this screen. Costpoint increments new rows by tens, allowing for insertion of additional rows at a later time. |
Data Type |
Use this drop-down list to select the data type allowed on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen.
|
Label |
Enter text for the label to serve as the default in the Labels field on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen. |
Help Description |
Enter a short help description that you want to display at the bottom of the screen when you enter data on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen. |
Costpoint Validation Field |
Click to select a column of an existing Costpoint data table. The items in this column are used as a lookup source on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen. You cannot select the Validated Text option when this field is active. |
Validated Text |
Select this check box if entries made for this label are restricted to specific alphanumeric text. Use the fields in the Validated Text block to create these text items and their descriptions. You cannot use the Costpoint Validation Field for this row when there is a Y (Yes) in this column. |
Required |
Select this check box if this user-defined information will be a required field for all vendors on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen. |
Validated Text
Use the fields in this block to set up valid values for each of the validated text labels. For each row that has a Y (Yes) in the Validated Text column, you must set up at least one valid value. If you do not, you cannot enter anything into that row on the User-Defined Info subtask of the Manage Vendors screen.
Field | Description |
---|---|

Enter a value for the user-defined label. You can have as many different values as you need for each different validated text label. |
