Note: This feature requires the Chemical Inventory module licensed at your site.
User-defined data is entered to record information not included by the standard fields in Comply Plus. When you need to enter data for a chemical, but this data isn't covered in Details, Physical Properties, and so on, you can enter it as user-defined data.
User-defined data is entered in a user-defined record, which is a set of fields defined by an administrator. When you enter user-defined data for a chemical, you fill in the fields of a user-defined record of the Chemical type, which covers data relating to a chemical. A user-defined record can be filled in one or more times for any chemical to allow multiple sets of data.
User-defined data added to a chemical from the local site level is visible only to users at that site. Corporate-added user-defined records—denoted by a Corporate (
) icon—are visible at all sites where the Chemical Inventory module is licensed.
Before adding user-defined data to a chemical, be sure a Chemical-type user-defined record appropriate to this data has been created in your system; for details, see Administration: User-Defined Records.
To view a chemical's user-defined data:
Starting at the Chemical Home page (How do I get there?), do the following:
1. Under Additional Details, click User-Defined.
The Chemical User-Defined Records page opens, showing all user-defined records that have been filled in for this chemical. Any record showing a Corporate () icon is a Corporate-level user-defined record visible to users viewing this chemical at any site.
2. To view the data entered in a record for this chemical, click the record's expand (
) icon.
The record shows its entries for this part.
Note: Any user-defined record can be filled in multiple times for a single chemical. The Created column shows when each set of values was entered for this chemical.
If you have permission to edit chemical user-defined data, see the following topics for details:
