Frequently Asked Questions
UDP (User Defined Page)
Introduction
UDP is an anagram for User Defined Page, it allows a system administrator to extend the default database fields by adding their own custom fields. Those custom fields can be associated to either:
- Company Data
- Contact Data
and can contain the following data types:
- Date
- Date/Time
- Number
- Decimal
- Text to a maximum size of 255 characters.
UDP Fields are created within the system tools tab, under the set-up sub-tab named User Defined Pages. To add a new field you should click the green square box that contains the white plus icon which will open a pop-up window allowing you to add fields. When a new field is added you are required to give it a name, and also associate a data type. Note that fields cannot be removed after they have been added to ensure data integrity and system consistency.
Assign UDP Data
To add/edit or remove UDP data you should edit the approiate UDP area, for example if you click the pencil icon on the company fields you will notice that a pop-up window appears that allows you select either core or udp data to view and update.
To remove data associated with a UDP field you should edit and delete the field value followed by the OK button to save the record.
