How do I set up User Fields for my Employee?
If your version of Timegate Web supports User Fields, they can be set up from the Admin | General | General Maintenance | User Fields - Employees page.
Setting up a user field is done as follows:
- Select Add
- Enter the values for the field
- Enter a Field Group (by default this is None). If you wish to group your fields by name, set this up in the User Fields Group page (Admin | General | General Maintenance | User Fields Group)
- Enter a Field Label (this will be the name shown on the screen)
- Select the Type of field (Date, Numeric, Text or Yes/No)
- Enter the Field Length (only for The length of the field in characters for Numeric and Text)
- Enter a Decimal if you are using a number and wish to specify places
- Select Mandatory , if the user must enter a value
- If you wish to use a drop down list, select Selection then configure from within the pop up window
- If you don’t want the field to be active straight away, select Inactive
- Use the arrows to determine the Sort Order
- Select Save
