User Defined – Multi-Purpose Box

When the multi-purpose selector of a node dialog box is set to User Defined, you can enter and view user-defined fields of the node.

How To:  For the first field, you will need to click New Field… twice.  A dialog box will come up asking you to enter a name for the new field (Netica will verify it meets the requirements of an IDname).

Once a new field is defined, enter its value in the large text space.  You can enter a number or any text; if the text is long, you might want to paste it in.  Continue entering new fields or click Okay to exit the node dialog box.

Removal:  If you make the entry empty, then Netica will ask you whether you want it to be a field set to empty, or whether you want the field removed.

Better Way:  For many operations on user-defined fields, the right-click menus offer a more convenient method.
