VALIDATED TEXT

Use this subtask to set up valid values for each of the validated text labels.

You must set up the labels or validated text for user-defined fields here before they will be available in the Employee User-Defined Info screen. Although you can set them up at any time, for more complete information, you should set them up before entering any employees.

Note:  For each row on the main screen that has a "Y" (Yes) in the Validated Text column, you must set up at least one valid value, or you will be unable to enter anything into that row in the Employee User-Defined Info screen.

Validated Text Label

This field is displayed from the row that was highlighted when you selected the Validated Text pushbutton. If you want to enter values for a different row, you must go back to the Validated Text Label table and highlight the row for which you want to enter values.

Text

After selecting the New Line button on the toolbar, enter a valid value for the validated text label in this 20-character alphanumeric field. You can have as many different values as you need for each different validated text label; however, you must enter and save at least one valid text value in this column if you entered a "Y" in the Validated Text column for the selected row on the main screen; otherwise, the Validated Text label will be changed to "N."

Warning: If you delete a text row, all of the related rows in the employee tables will also be deleted.

Description

Enter a 30-character alphanumeric description for each of the valid text values. This description will be displayed along with the valid text values when you are using Lookup in the Employee User-Defined Info screen.
