Defining user fields

To track information that is unique to your organization, you define alpha, numeric and date user fields.

User fields also define additional information about employees and applicants. For more information, see the Infor Human Resources User Guide.

To define alpha position user fields

Access User Field Setup (PA04.1).
Click the Alpha Fields button.

The kind of user field you select here determines the edits the application will perform on the field.
The Type field defaults to position. Select the Add function code.
In the Field Name field, type the user field name you wish to define.
Optional. If you want to define values for the field, select Yes in the Value List field. A Values button appears on the form when you add the new user field. Click the Values button to open the Alpha Field Values sub form. Define codes that identify valid values for the field.
In the Required field, indicate if the user field is required when adding a position record.
In the History field, indicate if a history record is needed when the user field is changed, to create an audit trail.
Select the Add function.
