Step 8: Manage Asset Master User-Defined Labels

Set up optional user-defined field labels on the Manage Asset Master User-Defined Labels screen as desired.

Although the user-defined field functionality is an optional feature, you must set up labels if you plan to enter user-defined data.

You can use user-defined label and data entry functionality to record additional information that may be specific to your company but for which there are no system-defined standard fields with the desired terminology.

You can establish labels for four types of user-defined fields: Date, Numeric, Text, and Validated Text.

The use of validated text user-defined fields requires that either the acceptable text options be entered in advance by the user via the Validated Text subtask of the Manage Asset Master User-Defined Labels screen OR that the validation occur against a user-specified selection from a pre-defined list of Costpoint tables and fields.

You cannot use the corresponding optional fields in the User-Defined Info subtasks of the Manage Asset Master Information and Manage Asset Template Information screens (or the Manage Asset User-Defined Information and the Manage Asset Template User-Defined Information screens) without first establishing labels for these fields.
