Use this screen to define the labels for use in the Employee table.
You can also set up validated text and labels so that you can control what is entered in the user-defined fields. If there is additional information that you want to capture about an employee, you can set up a label on this screen. The label is then available in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen.
You can create validated text labels in either of the following ways:
Select the check box in the Validated Text column. Then use the Validated Text subtask to customize the information available when you use 
in the Employee User-Defined Information screen.
Clear the check box in the Validated Text column. Then click in the Costpoint Validation Field column to select the Costpoint data table column you want to be available for in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen.
You must set up the labels or validated text for user-defined fields here before they become available in the Employee table. Although you can set up labels at any time, Deltek recommends that you set them up before you enter any employees.
Enter the sequence in which you want the labels to display in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen. Each row must have a unique sequence number. If you enter the same sequence number for two rows, you cannot save this screen.
By default, Costpoint automatically increments the sequence number by 10 for each new row, to allow for insertion of additional rows at a later time.
From the drop-down list, select the data type allowed in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen. Valid options are:
Date — You can enter a date.
Number — You can enter a number.
Text — You can enter alphanumeric text.
Only Text data types are allowed if you select the check box in the Validated Text column.
Enter a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters for the row heading. This label displays in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen and you can assign values to your selected organization.
Enter a maximum of 120 alphanumeric characters for each short help description that displays at the bottom of the screen (in the on-screen help taskbar) when you are entering data in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen.
Click to select a column of an existing data table. The items in this column display when you click in the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen. You cannot use the Validated Text column when this column is active.
Highlight the row for which you want to enter values and enter them in the Validated Text table.
Select this check box if entries for this label are restricted to specific alphanumeric text. Use the Validated Text table to create these text items and their descriptions. The Costpoint Validation Field is unavailable for this row when this check box is selected.
Select this check box if this user-defined information is a required field for this organization on the Manage Employee User-Defined Information screen.
