Custom Field Creation Wizard

The Custom Field Creation Wizard is a simple way to create fields. The Custom Field Creation Wizard can only be accessed from the Edit View of a Normal document. Once the Edit View is open, select the “Create Field” button.

The following is an example of the Custom Field Creation Wizard. When clicking on each Radio button, the Field Description will show on the right.

  • A name is required for all fields. The first entry box is where the name of the field is entered.
  • If the field is required the user will not be able to continue through the Wizard without making a change or selection. If the field is not required the user does not have to make a change or a selection to the Wizard to continue (The Finish or Next button will be enabled.
  • )
  • The user has the option to insert the field at the cursor position in the document. If “No” is selected the field will be available in Field Management to insert at a later time.

2. Complete the text boxes and controls as necessary.

  • Name- Field names must be unique.
  • Field Type- This is the type of field that is being created.
  • Field Target- Client specific (VA does not use this option).
  • Required- If the field is marked as required, a selection will have to be made before the user can continue (Before the Next/Finish button enables); if not marked as required, the user does not have to make a selection before continuing.
  • Locked- This option is primarily used for a Label field. Selecting this option will lock the field so the text that is entered can not be changed.
  • Enabled- This box has to be checked for the field to show in the Wizard. If this box is unchecked then the field will be disabled. If this box is checked and the field is not showing in the wizard then there may be a problem with the process selected in Document Activity Profiles.
  • Delimiter- The delimiter is used for separating selections in the Final View Form. This is primarily used in a MultiSelection Field.
  • Value- Information about the selection made in a field (Example; Anesthesia YES/NO)
