Adding a Milepost User Defined Field
Set up a Milepost user defined field (UDF) when you want to assign a different milepost format to a facility type on a pipeline. For example, if coupons require a different milepost format than other facility types on a pipeline, set up a milepost UDF and then assign the UDF at the facility type level in the Facility Location ID Formats mini-grid of Edit ROW Detail (Data Entry > Edit ROW Detail).
To add a Milepost UDF, follow these steps:
1 Click
Tools >
Field and UDF Customizations to open the
Field and UDF Customizations window (
Figure 3-29).
2 If you want to select a grid layout theme, follow these steps:
a Click
Customize to open the
Column Selections dialog box (
Figure 3-32).
b Click the down arrow in Select a Layout Theme and select a theme in the selection list.
c Click
Save to close the dialog box and return to the
Field and UDF Customizations window.
3 Select an item in the Properties panel that includes the data entry grid you want to add a UDF.
For example, double-click
Facility Surveys >
Common to All Facilities >
ROW and Pipeline to display a grid with fields and property settings related to the
Edit ROW Detail grid (
Figure 3-40).
Note: Clicking the Properties bar collapses the Properties panel allowing you to view more of the grid. Clicking the bar again expands the panel.
