User-Defined Fields

The functionality of attributes is not available for all entities. For some of these entities, your organization may want to add user-defined fields directly to their corresponding data entry forms. Also, attributes can be added as boxes to an additional tab (the User-Defined Fields tab) of a data entry form.

If you add user-defined fields, the original information of a record is displayed on the Document tab of the applicable form, and the added user-defined fields are displayed on the User-Defined Fields tab.
