User-Defined Info Subtask
Use this subtask to view user-defined labels set up in the Manage Employee User-Defined Labels screen.
You can use the Values field, in conjunction with the labels you already established, to enter employee-specific information. Once established, the tables display the labels that pertain to their data type. For example, the date table displays the date labels assigned to a specific employee.
Set up the labels and validated text for these user-defined fields in the Manage Employee User-Defined Labels screen before you enter this subtask. You must also set up employees on the main screen.
