Identification Information
The Item Identification screen contains additional item information.
The system fills the Orig Mfr/Model and Orig Sub Category fields with the Manufacturer, Model, and Subcategory when the item is added to the OpenPROTRAK Item file. The user can then update these fields if necessary.
Remarks and User Defined Fields
These are additional item fields that are accessed via the button titled “Remarks” on the item screen.
Labels for the User defined fields are defined on the Reference table.
Your system administrator will define the user fields for your company. The system administrator will specify the labels for the user defined fields on the Reference file and will instruct you on the use of these fields.
The system administrator will follow the instructions in the Reference function to change the user fields (see {P}LBL: PKITEM USER FIELD). He may “program” any of the user fields to automatically fill in system information (logon id or system date and time).

Documents
The Related Documents Screen contains a Paged Grid Control that allows entry, modification and deletion for a list of documents associated with an item.
When in update mode, the user can right-click on the Type column to see a list of OpenPROTRAK document types as defined in Reference.
User Defined Buttons
The untitled buttons in the More frame are User Defined buttons. The title and action for each user-defined button is defined in Reference. Your System Administrator can use Reference to assign a title and an action to these buttons. For example, your System Administrator could set up a button so that it is used to bring up Microsoft Word and open a specific Word Document file, or open the FAR Part 45 from a .gov web site.

The reference key {P}BTN1 PROG QIT is used to specify an action for the first user-defined button.
