This dialog is used to edit the field names of user fields for the current database.
The dialog is available to administrators, when there are no objects displayed in the main window, by selecting File | Database settings | User defined field names.
User defined field names entered in the dialog will be used as the global default for the current database. However, network specific user field names will override the global default names.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Table (drop-down list) | A list of object types for which user defined field names can be edited.
Note: If you open a database for
InfoWorks WS Pro 2024.3 or earlier versions, then some tables appear twice in the Table drop-down list.
For the duplicated table names, the first one is the actual table and the second one is the digitization template. The second one should not have been in the list because you normally cannot change the user fields in digitization templates. Changing the field name in the digitization template will not cause any problems in InfoWorks WS Pro 2024.4 and later versions. |
| Database Field Name (column) | The system name for each database field. Applies only to the object type shown in the Table drop-down. |
| User Defined Field Name (column) |
Text boxes for entering field names that will appear by default on grid views and property sheets instead of the system name. Applies only to the object type shown in the Table drop-down. Note: Long user defined field names may not be fully visible when displayed on property sheets. |
