CLIFF provides several data fields in the Log for which you may define their name and usage. The type of data you may store in each data field, the properties of each field, and any special processing associated with each field is as follows:
Text Fields: 80 character alpha-numeric data. Each of these fields is automatically keyword indexed. Each field is supported by a popup list defined in Table Maintenance.
Date Fields: Date fields that support all of CLIFF's date functionality.
Check Box Fields: Check box fields that may store simple Boolean values of TRUE or FALSE. These fields may be automatically populated by the Search for Special Authors function.
Table Fields: 40 character alpha-numeric data. Each table field is supported by a popup list defined in Table Maintenance. To force selection from the popup list click the check box after the appropriate field. These fields may be automatically populated by the Postal Code lookup function.
You may set the labels for each of the fields:
- Field names: Enter labels for user defined fields.
- Force Selection From Table: If on, only data from the associated table will be allowed in the data field.
- Location Prompts: Choose the default display for Postal Codes.
