Topic: New Component- Detail vs Description
|
| By: Guest | Posted on: Apr 15 2020 at 01:11:19 AM | Hi,
I am wondering what the intent is of detail vs description in the component tabs?
Description to me would be a sentence describing what the component is. What is detail though? Is this a shortened description? I have noticed that either one can be used to describe the component in different places throughout MiniMRP.
Thanks in advance. | |

The Detail field can be used for any purpose you like, but in other MRP programs such a field is often used as an prominent searchable and sortable field. For example, a customer-facing order code, or an alternate part number, or an engineering status field.
Pro tip: If one wishes to change the "Detail" label to something of your own choosing, first backup the database... then use Microsoft Access to edit the "tbldefaults" table's "CustomLabels" record's "Field1" value. | |

Thought there might be some standard use that was used in the community.
I'll talk to the team and see if it's worth putting the field to use. | |
