Level 1 Enable

To include non-standard, custom fields in the BOD, select the appropriate value in the Level 1 Enable field, and then specify the fields in the Level 1 Fields section.

You can select these values in the Level 1 Enable field:

• Disable - Level 1 Extra Fields Disabled

  Select this value to publish only the standard BOD data fields to ION. The Level 1 Fields list is ignored. If extra fields are not available for the selected BOD in Level 1, this option cannot be changed.

• Everything - Send All Level 1 Fields in Database and Custom Fields in Level 1 List

  Select this value for Level 1 if available for the selected BOD to publish all data fields in the database for the appropriate level of the BOD. You must specify any non-standard custom fields in the Level 1 Fields section that do not exist in the Infor BOD and that are excluded from the Everything value. This adds custom fields that are not part of the standard Extra Fields set, such as xx or zz fields. This also adds the user fields outside of the User1-9 fields that are part of the standard BOD data for Level 1 header tables.
