User Defined Column Preferences

Once activated the columns can be added to the table view, and will be automatically displayed in the detail view. You can also perform searches on user defined columns.

To activate a column, check the Active check box.

Enter the Column Title, this value will be displayed as the column header in the table view, as the tag name in the detail view, and as the search choice in the search bar.

Select the column type:

• Test Field - This is a single line text field that can contain any alphanumeric data
• Whole Number Field - This is a single line field that can only contain whole numbers. The contents of this field will be displayed right aligned. When sorting on this column, Readerware performs a numeric sort.
• Yes/No (Checkbox) field - A boolean field that can contain a Yes or No value. This field behaves like all Readerware boolean fields. In the table view it displays as Yes or No, in edit mode you can change the value by selecting from a list. In the detail view this field is displayed as a checkbox.

When adding a new field you can use the Bulk Editor to set an appropriate default value. For example when defining a new whole number field you might want to set a default value of 0.

To remove a column, clear the Active checkbox. Note that this does not remove the column or the data entered from the database, it simply removes it from display.
