Adding Drop-down fields and Tabs to Doc Types
Once you have prepared your subtypes to be used on Commitment and Vendor documents, you need to make sure these subtypes appear on the appropriate drop-down lists on your documents. If you want to set Pay Control on the Commitment level, you need to add the Pay Control drop-down list to the Commitment’s Detail tab, and if you want to track lien waivers on your Pay Requests, you need to add the Compliance tab to your Pay Request Doc Type. Drop-down fields and Compliance tabs are controlled through the Customization tool.
UI Configuration Tool
The UI Configuration tool is found on the System Admin Dashboard. For complete information regarding this customization tool, see the System Administration Focus Guide.
