Use this module to add specialized fields. There are 80 user-defined fields in EAM. Modules with user-defined fields are Employee, Equipment, Inventory, Project, Job, Purchase Order, Requisition Line, Vendor, and Work Order. Each has at least ten user-defined fields. There are two lookup tables, integer fields, decimal fields, and at least two alphanumeric fields (not validated against any table). There is a date field and a logical field. These provide significant flexibility for tracking user-defined information against specific records in EAM.

Changes to the field labels for employee, equipment, inventory, project, job, purchase order, requisition line, vendor, and work order are displayed on the User Defined tab in that module. Changes to the field label for Character 1 or Character 2 are also displayed on the User Defined tab in that module. In addition, the change is shown in the codes folder for that module. For example, if the field label for equipment character 1 is changed, EAM displays the field label change as the name of the file folder at Maintenance|Equipment|Codes|Equipment|.
