User Defined Field Names dialog

This dialog is used to edit the field names of user fields for the current database.

The dialog is available to administrators, when there are no objects displayed in the main window, by selecting File | Master database settings | User defined field names.

User defined field names entered in the dialog will be used as the global default for the current database. However, network specific user field names will override the global default names.

Note: If the database global settings are protected, only database owners will be able to make changes to user defined field names. (See User Permissions for more information.)
