Custom and Comments

Custom and Comments tabs appear throughout the Lucity™ system.  

Custom

This tab allows you to add custom information in multiple user-defined fields.  The field types are described below:

1. Code-type - User-defined, pick list fields.
2. Alphanumeric - Allows you to enter letters or numbers in any combination.
3. Check-box - Used to indicate yes/no or on/off.
4. Numerical - Accepts numeric digits only.
5. Date - Provides a popup calendar allowing you to select a date.

The Custom tab also tracks the last date the record was modified as well as who modified the record.

Note:  The Custom tab fields are designed by your system administrator.  They are completely open from the beginning and have no default information to track.  See your system administrator for further details.

The Custom tab in some modules tracks additional information. This may include the following:

• Short Comment - This is a text field that allows additional comments to be stored.
• 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 filled if Sub-Types are defined in the GIS system.

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

Comments

This tab (or grid) contains a large text field where you can enter additional notes.  While in Add or Edit mode, place your cursor in the grid and begin typing.  This field has copy/paste abilities, carriage returns <Ctrl + Enter>, and a spell checker that when turned on will underline misspelled words as you type.
