System Data - Classifiers

Pgm: PMCLSFM – Classifiers; standard Treeview path: System > User Extensions> Classifiers

This screen is used to add user-defined classifier(s) to PM objects in CMiC Field.

Objects

In the Object section of the screen, select the PM object where the user-defined classifier(s) are to appear. A new PM object can also be inserted using the [Insert] button on the Objects Block Toolbar.

Date Display Format

Select from the drop-down menu the format to display dates on the screen.

Classifiers

In the Classifiers section of the screen, select the user-defined classifier(s) to be added to the PM object selected in the Objects section of the screen.  These classifiers are defined on the Field Maintenance screen (standard Treeview path: System > User Extensions> Field Maintenance). Up to six classifiers can be added to a PM object. Default value(s) can also be selected for the Classifiers, but this is not required.

NOTES:

  1. When defining classifiers in the Field Maintenance screen, the length must not exceed 16 characters, otherwise the field name may not be displayed properly.

  2. If no previous classifiers have been defined for a PM object, click the [Next] button on the Classifiers Block Toolbar to insert original fields in the Classifiers section.

  3. When using a UDF on a PM object with a date data type, the date display format set in the Classifiers screen for a selected PM object takes precedence over the date display format set in the User Preferences screen of the System Data module.

The screenshot below shows an example of a PM object (Transmittal) displaying the user-defined classifiers entered in the screenshot above.
