WO Custom Tab

The Custom tab(s) provide a variety of empty fields that agencies may customize to meet their needs. The number of custom tabs or fields available varies by module.

Standard Custom Field Types

• Code-type - User-defined, pick list fields.
• Alphanumeric - Allows users to enter letters or numbers in any combination.
• Check-box - Used to indicate yes/no or on/off.
• Numerical - Accepts numbers only.
• Date - Provides a popup calendar, allowing the user to select a date.

  

Last Modified Fields

In some instances, the Custom tab tracks the last user that modified the record and when it was modified.

Other Fields

The Custom tab also might contain some of the following fields, depending on the module in which it appears.

• Short Comment - This is a text field that enables the user to store additional comments.
• Work Order, WO, or Work Comment - This is a text field that allows information to be carried over to a work order for this specific asset.  
• Sub-Type Text - This field is automatically completed if Sub-Types are defined in the GIS system.

  Note:  Users can only edit this field in the GIS geodatabase environment.  If the system is not integrated with GIS, this field is not available.

• X and Y coordinates - Such fields are used to locate the asset.

These fields and their data will be carried over to the Custom tab in the actual work order.  Additionally, the data in these fields is shared with the Requests module; therefore, any changes made will also appear in the WO Custom tab in Requests.
