Associating Types with Statuses
Not all Level 1 types may require all the same statuses. Although the statuses are created globally, you are able to associate only the required statuses to each individual type.
You can also navigate into the Status Settings then populate the Enabled on Level 1 Types field with the types you wish to make the status available against.
Type Custom Fields
You can define Custom Fields that will appear only on the Level 1 records of a given Type.
- To define these fields, click on the Fields button next to the relevant Type. Then create the desired custom fields in the normal fashion.
- The Display Order of the Custom Fields you create on a Type works in conjunction with the Display Order on any general Level 1 Custom Fields that have been defined.
- For example, if you have a Custom Field on a Level 1 Type with Display Order of 15, it would appear between the global Level 1 custom fields with display orders of 10 and 20.
