WorkExpo On-Line Help
User Defined Fields

Is it possible to change the field names in WorkExpo?

Yes and No. The field names in WorkExpo are generally not customizable. However, the field names in the 'User' tab (in Student and Employer windows) are customizable. 

You can enter your own field names and determine whether the field is a text box or a drop-down box. If you select a drop down box then you also have control over the items that appear in the drop-down box.
 
To see what you can do with student user-defined fields try this:

  1. In the Students Window click the Options tab at the top right of screen.
  2. In the Options tab you have control of various optional parameters within the student window.
  3. Place a tick in the User-defined - create your own fields check box.
  4. You will notice that a tab User-defined tab - USER DEFINED
  5. On this tab, click Customize. This displays the user-defined fields dialog where you can edit the properties for this field.    
  6. You can also place a tick in the Use as drop down check box to create a drop down list of possible choices.
  7. If you do this then click the click to set... link. Another dialog appears. Here you can add, edit or delete the items to appear in your drop-down list.
  8. Click OK. Now back on the User-Defined tab your field names and drop down options should appear as user-defined fields.
  9. You can also change the Tab name from 'User Defined' to something more meaningful.

 

In the screen shot below the user-defined tab has been setup to capture sporting information about students.

Use WorkExpo's user-defined fields to capture further information about students or employers.
