Enabling/Labeling User Defined Fields ​

Enable and label UDFs from Preferences.

Notes

  • UDFs are user specific. Each user must enable the fields they will be using.
  • UDF Labels are global--they are labeled the same for every user.
  • You can set up data validation in character and number type UDF fields.
  • All Faculty and Pay UDFs are enabled--you only have the option of labeling them.

To enable/label UDFs:

  1. Click the Preferences button on the Main Toolbar, click the Edit Preferences icon on the Quick Launch or select Edit > Preferences.
  2. Select the appropriate tab. For example, to edit Name UDFs, select the Names tab.
  3. Click the [Module Name] UDFs button. For example, if you selected the Names tab, the button will be named Name UDFs.

  1. Once the User Defined Field Setup screen opens, you can edit any of the module UDFs.
