Give custom field a name

I have created a custom field in Lists & Field Names/Employee & given it a name, Start Date.

However when I open a card list of employees the column heading is Custom Field 1, not the name I have given it, Start Date.  Is there a way of making the column heading the name I've given it?

  • Hi CNC2065 

     

    Suggest you re-check what you have done. While you can access the settings via Custom Lists > Lists & Field Names > Employees, you can change the tab - ensure the changes were made on the Employee tab. Just tested and works as it should in AR 2022.11

     

    If yours isn't working perhaps attach a screenshot and advise what version of MYOB you are using, if AR2022, are you trying this via Browser or desktop software.

      I've checked the employee cards & the field name appears as Start Date in the Card Details tab.  I'm using AR2022.11 & desktop software but the file is online.  I don't want to attach a screenshot for confidentiality reasons.

      Where the column name is still showing as Custom Field 1 is in the Card List screen.  The other columns I have are Phone No. 1, Employee ID, Date of Birth.

        Hi CNC2065 

         

        Thanks for clarifying where this was happening. I suspect this is a limitation of the Card List view. When selecting Columns to include, the default column names appear. I suspect the same thing would happen with an export.

         

        If you need this in a report, right click and use Copy List to Clipboard, paste into excel and adjust column headings as required.
