Manage Organization User-Defined Labels

Use this screen to customize labels for the user-defined fields in the organization table.

User-defined labels help you to enter and track more information about your organizations. These labels are optional, but if there is additional information you want to capture about an organization, you can set up labels on this screen for use in other software applications.

You can also use this screen to set up validated text and labels to control what is entered on the Manage Organization User-Defined Information screen. Validated text labels enable you to use Lookup.

Create validated text labels in one of the following ways:

  • Select the Validated Text check box and use the Validated Text subtask to customize the information that displays when you click on the Manage Organization User-Defined Information screen.
  • Clear the Validated Text check box and click in the Costpoint Validation Field column to select the Costpoint data table column to use for the lookup on the Manage Organization User-Defined Information screen.

You must set up the labels or validated text for user-defined fields here or they will not be available in the organization file maintained by the Manage Organization User-Defined Information screen. Although you can set up labels or validated text at any time, you should, for more complete organization information, set them up before you enter any organizations.

Warning: If you delete a label from these tables, Costpoint deletes from the organization tables all references to that label.
