Validated Text Subtask

To use the validated text user-defined feature, you must first set up the labels and then set up the allowable validated text entries in this subtask.

One of the advantages in using validated text data lies in the consistency of the entry format and the subsequent ability to print reports that use this consistent data format.

The data on this screen is company-specific and will be available for use only by your company of login. If you have set up multiple companies in Costpoint, you can enter, edit, view or use data on this screen for each company only by using the separate company login for each.

Although you can set up validated text data for a new label and edit it on this screen at any time, you must establish this information before you can enter this data on the Manage Asset Master Information screen or the Manage Asset Template Information screen. To achieve consistency throughout your records, however, you should plan for and establish as much as possible of this setup data during your initialization procedures.

You must select the check box in the Validated Text column on the Manage Asset Master User-Defined Labels screen before you can access this subtask.
