Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to customise the fields displayed for an item in the Relation Mapper?
I want to use it to hold ADSL details such as usernames etc
Thanks

Hi sthomas
yes, you should be able to customise the fields that display, and what order they are in.
To customise the fields displayed, always look at the top menus for the 'cog' as this is the "Customise List" option. When you cliscj it you should get a small window open with options for the displayed fields. Hers you can add and remove the fields you want, and order them etc.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi APN,
Thanks for that information, I can see how to do it now. I've got two related questions now:
* Is it possible to change the names of the fields to something more meaningful than "Item Cust Text 1"?
* How do I populate the "Location" field drop down? Can this be related to account? For example. Account A has 3 locations, Account B has 4.
Thanks in advance

For the first question, yes you can replace the names of almost any text in the entire software, and I do it regularly. I actually call "Relation Mapper" "Inventory" because relation mapper doesnt really mean anything to me.
To do it...
1. go to "Preferences", then "Customize" and select the "Translate" tab
2. download the "sysaid_text_en_NZ.css.utf8.properties" file. (this is a plain text, may have slightly differernt name due to country, language etc)
3. make a backup of this file incase bad things happen
4. use any text editer to do find and replaces for the text you want to change. (eg replace "Item Cust Text 1" with "ADSL Details")
5. now back in the Translate tab of customise, you can upload this edited translate file.
6. you should now see you text where the old text was.
For your second question, to populate the "Location" field...
1. go to "Preferences", then "Customize" and select the "Customize Lists" tab (selected by default)
2. In the "List" drop down, select "Location"
3. Now add key and Caption for the locations you want. I have over 150 locations in this list.
4. remember to click the save button at the bottom (regularly)
5. you query about associating account to different locations. I have never done it, but I believe you can, as you can associate the location to a user group, so you could have your acconts in groups. you might have to have a wee play with that one yourself.
good luck
