Create a New Custom Field
From the Custom Fields Designer screen, select the 'NEW' icon. Click within each field (Source, Type, Width, Decimal, Required, Search, List, Minimum & Maximum) to edit.
Name : Enter in the Name for the field that will be displayed on the Card.
Source : The system will automatically generate the name for the Source once the field has been saved.
Type : Choose the Control Type that best suits the Custom Field. This works with the Control Sources selected on the Page Editor page.
C – Character (Use with: Text or List box Control Sources.) 254 alpha/numeric character limit
D – Date (Use with: Date/Calendar box Control Source.)
L – Logical* (Use with: Yes or No, checkbox Control Source.)
M – Memo (Use with: Edit box Control Source) Similar to text box with no character limit. This field type is not available in the Custom Export Module.
N – Numeric (Use with: Text Box Control Source) 254 numeric character limit, can define decimal spacing.
V – Rich Text Format (Use with: Edit Box Control Source) No character limit and save multiple text formats. This field type is not available in the Custom Export Module.
Width : Set the character width limit within the Custom Field. Example: For “Alarm Code”, the number of characters will never exceed 10, the character Width would be set at “10”.
Decimal : Set the decimal spacing (for use with numeric type fields, standard is 2 and displays as “0.00”)
Required : Indicates the Custom Field is mandatory. Ensures the Reservationist cannot save or exit the screen without addressing the field.
Search : Indicates the Custom Field is searchable. Using the Search feature on a Reservation Custom Field will allow a User to search for the contents of the Custom Field in the Reservation search screen. This is a great way to search for a Reservation number or an invoice number from a different version of Oscar or another Reservation application. Memo fields cannot be made searchable.
List : The List option establishes the Custom Field as a List Box. Populate the List check box and click Save 
on the Custom Fields Setup Screen. After exiting the Custom Fields Setup screen, return and click on the drop-down arrow to enter the list items that pertain to the field that has just been created. The List option is used only with a character type field.
