User Fields Tab

Use the User Fields tab to specify the values that Open Plan should include for user-defined fields on the code.

User-defined fields are created outside of an open code and may be used by any code file stored in the database. In order to use a user-defined field for your code, you must specify a value for it on this tab.

Contents

Use the fields and options to configure the User Fields tab of the Code Details dialog box.

Field Description
Code

A code is an alphanumeric identifier unique to the code and can consist of from 1 to 20 characters, including periods that are used to indicate hierarchical levels. At each hierarchical level, this identifier can consist of a maximum of 10 characters. However, the total length of the code, including periods, cannot exceed 59 characters.

Codes containing the following four symbols " , | ; are used as delimiters in Open Plan and may cause problems when importing or exporting data.

When you enter a code in the Code Details dialog box, enter only the local portion of the code. Open Plan automatically enters the parent portion of the code.

Open Plan does not distinguish between upper- and lower-case characters in a code and will flag code "WBS01" as a duplicate of code "wbs01."

Description

An extended description of up to 60 characters can be stored for each code.

Grid

This tab features a grid containing two columns:

  • Field: This column displays a list of all the user-defined fields that have been defined.
  • Value: For each user-defined field that you want to use, you should enter an appropriate value.
Note: User-defined fields are created outside of an open code and may be used by any code file stored in the database. In order to use a user-defined field for your code, you must specify a value for it on this tab.
