Search Custom Field

The  custom field grid allows the user to search for existing custom fields on the system by clicking in the filter row in the grid columns and entering in the desired information. Click on any row of the search results to see a summary view of the record. Click on beside a custom fieldt to see the full details.  The Advanced Search can be utilized by clicking on the in the upper right side of the grid.

Note: To filter the grid result by the Applies To property you have to surround your search criteria with wildcards (%).  So to limit the grid to all custom fields that apply to vendors, you enter %vendor% in the filter box.  This does a 'starts with' query, so you can enter all or part of the word vendor, but you need to surround it with %. 

Click on  in the grid beside the custom field to edit the custom field. Only fields that are allowed to be edited will be displayed.
