Specifying field details for a user-defined table

You use the Add Field dialog to specify the details of the fields within a user-defined table.

To access the Add Field dialog, click Add, or select a field and click Edit, in the Columns step of the Add/Edit User Table wizard.

To specify the details of a field:

Enter a name under which the field will appear within the user-defined table in Asta Powerproject in the Name field. This is the name of the column within the table.
Select the type of field, for example 'Integer' or 'Boolean (Yes/No)', in the Type field. If you have created one or more user-defined enumerators in this data source and you want to add one to the user-defined table, you can select a type of 'User Defined Enumerator', then select the enumerator you want to add to the table in the Associated Enum field. To enable users to link objects to external documents using this field, select 'URL'.
Select or enter the value that you want to appear by default in the field in the Default value field. If you are adding a Boolean field, this field appears as a check box. Select the check box to make the field selected by default, or clear it to make the field cleared by default.
For string fields, you can use the Allow zero length check box to specify whether users are allowed to leave the field blank.
Select the Allow enumeration check box to enable users to filter on the contents of the field within Asta Powerproject, or clear the check box to disable filtering on the field. For user-defined tables that are associated with the 'Perm Resource Skill' object, selecting this check box also enables you to use this field as search criteria when searching for permanent resources using Resource Search. You must select this check box for all types of field, including 'Boolean (Yes/No)' fields, that you want to use to search for permanent resources using Resource Search.
Click OK to close the Add Field dialog and return to the Create/Edit User Table wizard.
