Custom fields example

N.B: To access this window from Opera Job Management: open Jobs menu, then select Additional job fields

This windows allowa the user to add multiple custom fields to the Job details. Every field will be

'Content description

• Name/ Description: the name and description of the custom field.
• Type : the field type (String,Number,Text,Date,Hour,String,True/False,File)
• Position : the field position within the job screen and the job line.
• Arrangement: the displaying order of the field in the job screen.

NOTE:
This value is automatically generated, but its value is editable

• Lenght / Height: the custom field dimensions. These fields will be enabled according to the selected Type value.
• Column: the column on which the field will be placed in the job window.
• Decimals: the number of decimals to use.

NOTE:
This value is enabled only for type Number format

• Thousand: if enabled, shows the thousand separator symbol.

NOTE:
This value is enabled only for type Number format

• Separator: if enabled, add a separator line after the field
• Distance: the distance between the field and the previous one.
• File : allows loading a file that contains the field value.

NOTE:
Creating a field for the sale agent or the payment type requires to choose the current value time by time from a list. Creating a text file with the possibile values and linking its path to the field will create a item list of values for the field within the Job

• Query : This function is very useful for those who use to flank Opera with outer programs able to receive XML format files. Basically is about to identify the linking path with that part of the program which will open in the field a possible list of a parameter to report in the field itself, alike the previous File field.

N.B: Many information from the extra fields can printed out. See Job Printing options for more information.
