A UDF (User Defined Field) is a feature of OpenDocMan that allows the administrator to add custom meta-data fields to all documents.

To Add UDF's:

Selection List Item

1. Click on Admin→UDF→Add

2. Enter the Internal Name (5 chars): ex. col2

3. Enter the Display Name: Color 2

4. Select “Select List”

5. Click “Add UDF”

Now that the UDF is added, the Select List UDF needs some values for the users to pick from:

1. Click on your new UDF in the admin menu (ex. “col2”)

2. New Value: “Blue”

3. Click Update

4. New Value: “Red”

5. Click Update

Now “edit” or “add” a file and you should see a new dropdown list with Blue/Red as options for each file.

Radio items are done the same way as Select lists. The Text Field UDF just provides a blank text box for each file.
