Custom Fields

OfficeTalk provides the ability to completely customise the data that you store and display. You may add additional fields to most data types, such as tasks, projects, planners etc. and you can add data to these custom fields by making these custom fields available in the standard data entry property sheets.

Since different users in your organisation will be interested in different data, OfficeTalk lets you provide different users with different data entry property sheets. The standard pages are always shown in any custom property sheet. Property sheets may only be extended to show additional pages which may contain both system and custom fields.

Within a list, OfficeTalk lets you view, sort, group and filter by any custom data field. Any custom data field added to your database becomes available as a column in the relevant list windows.

Only a supervisor can customise the database in this way since changes made to the database will affect all users in the workgroup.
