To add a career plan, click the Add button. To edit an existing plan, select the plan and click Edit. Plans are added and edited on the following window:

User Defined

The User Defined tab contains extra generic fields that may be used to customise your data. You can rename some of the "User Defined" fields, and use them to track information that may not have been included in the set screens provided with the system.

The following types of User Defined Field are available:

• Logical - Place a tick in the box to turn on a logical field.
• Date - Enter a date in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
• Text - Enter a short comment here.
• Memo - Enter a long comment or description here. It can run over several lines.

To give a meaningful name to a field, double-click on the "User Defined" name; this will make the caption editable.
