Spare Lookup Field Details

Field location

This section indicates where the Spare lookup field you are working with is located. In this case, the field is on the Coordinator tab.

Type of field

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

Field name

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

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.

Require an entry:

If you select No it will be possible for the Spare lookup on the Coordinator tab to be left blank in Volgistics. If you select Yes it will not be possible for this field to be left blank in Volgistics.

Default entry

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

The Spare lookup 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 a Volgistics Administrator adds new operator records, the operator can be assigned one of three user levels:

  • Administrator
  • Power user
  • Basic user

The user levels can be used to customize access to the system. For example, if the Administrator wants Basic user level operators to be able to see what is in the Spare Lookup field, but not be able to make changes to the field, they can set the dropdown for Basic users to View only.
