Purpose

Use this procedure to customize the appearance and accessibility of PACS panel fields. This procedure describes Field Level Customization options in PACS.ADMIN.

Prerequisite

• The PACS Administrator > Field Level Customization Management user right is assigned to your ID.

Procedure

1. In PACS.ADMIN, choose Tools > Field Level Customization. PACS displays a timer while preparing the display.

   Note that PACS is capable of storing and processing an impressive amount of data. Displaying and organizing this data requires many panels, dialogs, and sections into the user interface. Use the Publication Scope drop-down lists along the top to narrow the list of options.

2. In the Field Level Customization Panel Name list, click the plus sign next to Account to edit taxpayer/owner view panels, or Property to edit Property view panels.
3. Click once on the name of the panel you wish to modify.
4. A list of the selected panel’s sections displays in the Component Controls tab. Click Edit to modify that section. Then click the plus sign next to the section you wish to modify.
5. The selected panel section displays in the bottom-half window. Do any of the following as needed:
   • Edit the Control and Text.
   • Deselect the Visible option for the field to hide the field.
   • Deselect the Enabled option to make the field uneditable in the PACS display.
   • Click the Hotkey column field to open the list of fields and the hotkey which sets the cursor in that field. Modify as needed.
   • Click the Validation column field to set up validation rules for a given field. Validated fields are required fields.
   • If needed, click the Extra Field Bound tab to add/modify fields whose options and validation depend on the selection in some other field. Because of the size and complexity of the system, this process can take awhile.
6. Click Save to save any changes. Or click Cancel to undo any changes made after the last save.
