Assign Optional Fields Field List

For help with the fields on the Assign Optional Fields setup window, read the field descriptions below. To learn how to use the Assign Optional Fields setup, read About Optional Fields.

In this field, select the type of record or transaction for which you are defining the optional field. For a table which lists the choices and describes where you will be able to view and assign them after setup, see Examples of Optional Fields For.

If you want to set a default value for the optional field, double-click in the Value Set column to change it to Yes.

The Yes flag in the Value Set field alerts the data entry clerk that a seemingly blank optional field actually has an entry. By looking at the Value field, you cannot tell whether it has a “blank” default value or no value at all.
