Type Field Details

Field location:

This section indicates where the Type field is located. In this case, the field is on the Place tab.

Type of field

Information is stored in several types of fields in Volgistics. This section indicates that the Type field is a Dropdown field.

Field name

This is the first place on the Type Field Properties setup page where a system operator can make any adjustments to the field. The field is called Type by default. To change the name of the field, enter the name you would like.

Hidden

If the Hidden setting is set to No, the field will be shown on the tab. If the Hidden setting is set to Yes, the field will no longer show. When a field is hidden, System operators will not see the field or any information that may have been entered in it before the field was made hidden, but any information that may have been in the field before it was hidden will still be there if you later unhide the field.

Default entry

If you want a certain drop down item to appear in this field by default for new Places, you can select it here.

The Type field is a dropdown list, also known as a look-up table. You can update the items in the field by adding, merging, or deleting the items.

System operator rights

When Volgistics Administrators create new operator records they can assign one of three operator levels:

  • Administrator
  • Power user
  • Basic user

The user levels allow Administrators to control the operator's rights and access. For example, if the dropdown list by Basic users is set to View only, operators with the Basic user level could see what is recorded in the Type field but not change it.
