> Adding Custom Fields to Standard Work Order Headers

Add custom fields to standard work orders. If you insert a new record on the Work orders form (WMJOBS) using a standard work order for which you have added custom fields, Datastream 7i automatically populates the work order with the custom fields added for the EVNT entity. If you update a work order on the Work orders form (WMJOBS) using an existing standing work order, Datastream 7i overwrites any custom fields on the updated work order with the custom fields associated with the work order class added for the standard work order.
