Custom Fields should be added to the module after business hours. If a new custom field is created during business hours, it could cause a potential deadlock within the workspace that would negatively impact end users.

• The following fields appear on the Create Field Screen:

Field Name	Description
Category	Drop-down that contains a list of categories in which the custom field is saved and made available in the database. For each of the following Categories, a maximum of 1,023 custom fields can be created: Application Applicant Upon creating a 1,024th field and clicking  or , an error message is received stating the maximum number of fields for the Category has been reached and the new field cannot be created.
Field Label	The name of the custom field. This is what appears in the Field List. The Field Label does not support special characters and must meet the following requirements or a validation error is received upon trying to save the custom field: Start with a letter Contain only alpha-numeric characters and spaces End with an alpha-numeric character Include less than 100 characters
Data Type	Drop-down that determines the type of custom field that is being created.
Description	If necessary, provide a description of the new custom field.
Lookup	Drop-down of lookup values. Lookup is available when the Lookup Data Type is selected. This populates from Field Configurations. Click Create New Lookup List to create a new drop-down list.
Field Length	Determines how long the field should be. This is enabled when the Character Data Type is selected. Custom fields used for IMM documents must be less than 21 characters, as the IMM forms designer has a maximum character length. If the custom field length is above 21 characters, the value of the custom field cannot be mapped to the IMM form.
Decimal Places	If a numeric Data type is selected, this determines how many decimal places the value has.

• When finished entering information, click  to retain the new Custom Field and return to the Custom Fields page. Click  to return without saving.
• Custom fields are available to insert into rules.

Create a new field by building a calculation using one or more fields and constants. There are two types of Calculated Fields that can be created: Standard and Advanced. The operators available for use in the calculations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operation (i.e. parenthesis (A+B)/(C+D)). For date calculations, results are presented in days.

To Create a Standard Calculated Field:

• Click . Expand the Calculated Field option.
• Select Standard. The Standard Calculation Field screen appears.

• The following fields display on the screen:

Field Name	Description
Category	Drop-down that contains a list of categories in which the custom field is located in the database.
Field Label	The name of the custom field. This is what appears in the Field List.
Data Type	Drop-down that determines the type of custom field that is being created.
Description	If necessary, provide a description of the new standard calculated field.
Decimal Places	If the Decimal Data Type is selected, this determines how many decimal places the value has.

• After determining the field properties, navigate to the Build Calculation section and use the operator to build the Calculated Field. The fields that can be used in this section are determined by the Category selected. Click Add Field to add fields to the calculation.
• When finished building the calculation, click . If the calculation is valid, a success message displays. If the calculation is not valid, an error message displays.
