user fields in door schedule

[burch]

How do I rename user field 1 , user field 2 etc. once I have put them on door schedule? I can insert Userfld1 into column but then no one elese can tell what user filed 1 represents. I need to be able to rename User field .

They should just be text in a cell above the database row. Select the cell and type in whatever you want to display.

I'm talking about changing the user field list in the door settings menus under data tab. The end of the list provides 10 User Fields which I can use and rename on the schedule but I cannot change the user field name in the settings so someone knows where to go put in hte information. Any thoughts?

Go to Tools > Scripts > VS Plugin Editor

Choose Door

Click on Parameters

Go down to # 151 - it should say "USRFLD1"

Click on this

Click on Edit

Change "Alternative Name" to the desired name. Do NOT change the "Name" field. If you do, you'll get VS errors when attempting to use the tool.

Note: I strongly recommend making a copy of the door.vso object (in VW > Plugins folder) and saving a copy somewhere outside the VW folder in the off chance you need to go back to the original at some point. Otherwise, the only way to get the original back is to reinstall.

Also, remember any changes that you make will probably be overwritten the next time NNA updates the Door PIO. They will almost certainly not survive an upgrade to VW2009 and if there are nay interim fixes to the Door Tool, you will have to go back and make the changes again.
