Change back the description for the Superintendent Email field on the job record to Superintendent_email - My Assistant Reports

SUGGESTED

I changed the description for "Superintendent_email" to Foreman email and it caused a few My Assistant reports to stop working as reports could no longer find the correct field.

How can this be changed back? Tried to change in Job Cost setup but it now limits you to only 15 characters.

    Can I change the description for the Superintendent Email field on the job record?

    Can I change the description for the Project Manager Email field on the job record?



    Resolution

    Yes, you can change the description of the following field on the Job General tab:

    Project Manager

    Misc Title 1

    Misc Title 2

    Misc Title 3

    Misc Title 4

    Project Manager Email*

    Superintendent Email*

          *NOTE: The existing field length of the above two fields was changed in versions 13x and later from 30 to 15 characters to match the others. So be aware if you do decide to change these with the the Change Desc button, it will truncate these standard field names to only 15 characters.

    Proj Mgr Sort

    User def key 2

    To do so, place your cursor on the field you want to change and then click on the Change Desc button.

    A Description field will open and you can enter the new name for that field. This will affect all of the jobs within this Company Data folder.

    John,

    You could update the my assistant reports in Crystal to the new field if they are Crystal reports.

    John,

    When you change a customizable field like that, you need to go to the My Assistant Configuration Manager at the file server and on the Sage300CRE Data Folders tab, click the "Import Sage Database Customizations".  That helps My Assistant find that field.
