MA4000 Expense Management Cable Management User Guide - Issue 1
Custom Fields
Cable Management allows you to define up to 10 additional fields for
tracking and displaying data in the component tables. These additional
fields can be customized for:
• Assets
• Asset Ports
• Backbone Cables
• Backbone Pairs/Strands
• Contacts
• Horizontal Links
• Termination Hardware
• Termination Hardware Ports/Positions
For example: A user might create a new computer type and then define
three customized labeled fields to track aspects of this computer type.
Or, a user could add a new phone type and define seven customizable
fields to track specific data about that phone type.
Creating customized fields
From the Main Page, click the Custom Fields link in the TOOLS menu.
Step 1
- OR -
From within the Cable Management application, on the Detail View of
the component category for which you wish to add custom fields, click on
the ellipse (. . .) button next to the Type field.
When the Customizable Fields window pops us, click the Add button.
Step 2
A new row will be added to the table in the window. Enter the information
Step 3
for the new field in the columns of that row.
In the Description fields, enter the desired field name.
Step 4
Click Save.
Step 5
The custom fields you add will appear either as additional fields
displayed on the Detail View for a component, or will appear in a
separate pop-up window when you click the box in the Other column of
a table in either the List View or Detail View, depending on the type
of component.
When the Customizable Fields window is open, you can use the drop-down list at
the top to switch to a different component type for which you want to add custom
fields. At any time, you can add fields to a type (up to the ten-field limit), re-label a
field, and add or remove types. Before you add a field, it's a good idea to review the
existing data in the Customizable Fields window, as you may be able to use types
already added, thus avoiding unnecessary duplication.
