Introduction

dRofus contains of both built-in fields and dynamic fields. Built-in fields can not be changed, but all dynamic fields can be modified, created and deleted in the User Interface Editors (UIE)

To access UIE go to Settings and find the options as per image below.

Each entity (Project/Functions, Rooms, Items, Occurrences, Systems and Procurement) has their own editor, and your access to dRofus will decide how many of the editors you will see. For example, if you don’t have access to the Systems module, you will not see the System data editor even if you are a database administrator.

In total, if access to all modules of dRofus, there are 7 entities you can modify fields for;

• Room Data

• Project / Function Data

• Item Data

• Occurrence Data

• Procurement

• Systems Data

• TIDA
