New UI Configuration Fields and Columns in V2017

Request:

We’d like to add another unlimited text field to our Notes tab. We also need more fields on our Details tab. Oh, and we’d like another column for details in the Watchdog Alerts part.

Response:

Because of multiple requests from our clients, in V2017 we added 122 fields/columns (items) to the UI Configuration tool (found on the System Admin Dashboard), ready to be added to document and dashboard parts. As a reminder, all UI items can be relabeled.
