Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Hopefully someone will be able to help.

 

I wish to have multiple "text only" fields in the columns. Asta bydefinition has 5 user text fields.  I need 4 or 5 more.

I have followed the asta help tool and done the following 

 1 entered the user field manager in the project tab

2  select "USER"  from the "object type" dop down.

3 Added new fields as STRING type with new names.

4 applied the setting and sved.

When i then go to the Column type as it suggests in the table nothing shows up to select.  What am I doing wrong.

 

Thankyou in advance

 

Sam

Hi D

Welcome to Planning Planet

Step 2 - Select BAR from the "Object Type" drop down - not USER.

You can have any number of user fields in the system - just select the ones you want to display.

Best regards
