This window allows the User Parameters for a given Company/Warehouse to be specified.

User parameters are user-defined fields for containers. Currently, they are only stored in the container detail table in the database. They are used for collecting specific information that is not currently available on various screens, or for presenting users with different options in the drop down lists.

The [Param] scroll-field designates the parameter being defined. Use the <A> and <Z> keys to select the user parameter field you wish to set up.

The [Name] and [Short Name] inputfields take the naming values for the parameter.

The [Type] field denotes the field’s data type. Select the type by using the <A> and <Z> keys to move between the choices. The currently supported choices are text, datetime, and dropdown.

The [Min] & [Max] fields denote the minimum and maximum values for the parameter value. The [Default] field holds the default value for the parameter.

The next section contains the names of some of the transactions available in Whistle. You need to check any of the windows that you wish this user parameter to appear in.

The [Required] checkbox denotes obligatory use of the parameter. The [Hold List] checkbox denotes use of the parameter in using the value for hold status. The [SQL] text form takes associated SQL statements to be used by the parameter for either validation use, or to populate dropdown lists.
