User fields

User fields are fields provided in the Lawson applications to let you collect additional information not already tracked. The first line of any user field is searchable when running an item search. User fields do not have a specific purpose until you define the type of data that can be entered in the field: Alpha, Date, Amount, or Numeric.

User fields can contain alpha, numeric, or date information. You define the kind of information entered into these fields. For more information about user fields, see the Human Resources User Guide.
