Deleting a Custom Field in Payroll or Human Resources

Note:  If a custom field is deleted, the field (and the data entered in the field) will be removed from all employees in the Employee File in both Payroll and Human Resources (if applicable).  Also, if deleting a referenced custom field, all the referenced values will be deleted as well; to delete just one referenced value from a particular custom field, follow the instructions for changing a custom field.

Steps to Change a Custom Field in Payroll or Human Resources

• 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 delete:  Date Fields, Numeric Fields, Referenced Fields, or Text Fields.

• Enter the name of the custom field to delete in the Custom Field Description field, or click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.

• Once the custom field to delete is displayed on the screen, click the Delete button; when prompted to delete the field (and the data in the field for all employees, if applicable), click Yes.

Note:  If a referenced custom field is used on a check setup (on the General tab), the system will not allow it to be deleted.
