Labels

This non-editable field displays the labels created for this user-defined code in the Item User-Defined Labels screen.

Values

If a line's Data Type is "T" (Text) and the Validated Text field is "Y" (Yes), enter, or use Lookup to select, a value that was created for the label in the Validated Text subtask of the Item User-Defined Labels screen.

If a line's Data Type is "T" (Text), the Validated Text field is "N" (No), and the Costpoint Validation Field is not populated, you can enter any alphanumeric text in the Values field. However, if the Costpoint Validation Field is populated with an existing data table name, enter, or use Lookup to select the date you choose from that data table.

If a line's Data Type is "N" (Numeric), you can enter a numeric value in this field.

If a line's Data Type is "D" (Date), you can enter a date in this field in DD/MM/YYYY format.

If the Required field is "Y" (Yes) for any given line, you must populate the Values field in accordance with the selected line's Data Type.

Costpoint Validation Field

If the line's Data Type is "T" (Text) and the Costpoint Validation Field was populated in the Item User-Defined Labels screen, this column displays the value from the Costpoint Validation Field (the Costpoint field that is the source for acceptable entries in the Values field for this row).

Validated Text

This field will display "Y" (Yes) if you created special text items for this row in the Validated Text subtask of the Item User-Defined Labels screen.

These items will be available in Lookup. "N" (No) in this column indicates that no special items were created for this row.
