Changing a Custom Field in Payroll or Human Resources

Note: If a custom field is changed, the changes for the field will appear for all employees.

From the Payroll or Human Resources screen, select the Maintenance menu and then Custom Fields.
At the Custom Fields screen, select the tab for the type of custom field to change: Date Fields, Numeric Fields, Referenced Fields, or Text Fields.
Enter the name of the custom field to change in the Custom Field Description field, or click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.
Make the desired changes to the custom field.

To add a new value for the custom field (for referenced fields only), complete the blank line (indicated with an asterisk) at the bottom of the Referenced Fields List.
To remove a value from the custom field (for referenced fields only), click the Delete button located to the left of the desired value in the Referenced Fields List; when prompted to delete the record, click Yes.
To change the order the custom fields display within the Employee File, use the Set Screen Preferences option.

After all the changes have been made, click the Save button.
If the description (name) of the custom field was changed, a prompt will appear verifying whether or not to change the description of the custom field. To change the description of the custom field, click the Change button. To not change the description and revert to use the original description, click the Revert to Original button.
