Assignment Captions

This screen allows you to design the Captions to be displayed when an Assignment is created on the Assignment Board. If you do not define any Captions, then the system will display some default captions.

Captions consists of two portions - a 200 character "SUBJECT" string followed immediately by a 200 character "LOCATION" string which is enclosed in brackets.

Both SUBJECT and LOCATION strings can consist of one or more user-selected field values.

Each record identifies a field name to be used in the caption. If you wish to include multiple field values in your caption, then you need to use multiple lines to define the whole caption.

Entry and Display fields

Assignment Type:  Select the type of assignment from the drop-down list. ( Job / Assembly / Delivery / Ticket Action / Activity )

Caption Type: This is either the Subject portion or the Location portion of the caption. The Location portion is enclosed in brackets and always comes after the Subject portion.

Field Name: From the drop-down list, select the field name to be included in this portion of the caption.

Sequence: You can order the fields in your caption by entering a sequence number for each field. Fields are concatenated from left to right according to their Caption Type ( SUBJECT / LOCATION ) and sequence number.

Prefix: You can enter a prefix for this field name if desired for clarity. Each field value will be separated by a colon (:) in the Caption string.
