• UDF Name = Color
• Field Type = Combo Box
• Terms = Orange, Black, White, Tan,
Brown
• Definition = user can define what each
term means
• Description = user can enter additional
notes about UDF overall.
• Must select Update to save
• All terms entered on this screen will be
dropdown options when assigning the
UDF “Color” to an animal in the
studbook.
Adding more options for defining UDFs and notes, should make tracking of UDFs
through time and easier as a studbook changes Studbook Keepers.
2. Text Box
When user selects to add a UDF as a text field,
they do not need to define terms.
• When entering a text field UDF for an
animal, the user can enter any free text.
• This can cause bad data entry and we
recommend only using free text UDFs when
absolutely necessary (example: tracking
numbers that cannot be defined)
Text Field Example:
• UDF Name = Color
• Field Type = Text Field
• No Terms or Description needed
• User will be able to enter any text in the “Color” UDF in the animal’s records
• Example: Orange, Green, Geren, Blue, Education…
• System will not check for definition
