Header

• Service Name

  The name of the service associated with the custom attribute.

• Service Type

  The type of the service, essentially a sub-grouping within service name. If there is only one service type, then it has the same name as the service name.

• Custom Attributes Grid

  The list of custom attributes associated with the service.

  • Attribute Name

    The customer-defined name given to the field attribute to be used as part of customising screens. This displays in the Service Attributes tab of the Personalisation panel.

  • Attribute Type

    The customer defined attribute type name that defines the properties that are associated with this field. It displays under the Attributes tab in the Personalisation panel, for example, Distance Travelled.

    This name is a custom attribute type as configured in the MSECAT—Custom Attribute Types application.

  • Multiplicity

    Indicates whether more than one entry is valid for the field.

    Multiplicity impacts how service attributes (fields) display in the create and update screens, but not in the search screen:

    In the search screen, the field displays as a single entry field, for example drop-down, check box, text box, or entry box for the field types date, time, decimal and integer.

    In the create and update screens, the field that has Multiplicity selected displays as a grid and provides the ability to add multiple entries. Examples of this use could be:

    • The addition of multiple dates to record that a task was performed on each of those dates.

    • The selection of more than one value from a drop-down list to record a range of tasks that were performed.

    Note: Each field that has multiplicity is independent of other fields and cannot be linked to create a table of related column fields.
