ARC Facilities

You can create multiple custom lookup fields (which are values) under custom attributes through this settings screen. The custom attributes are created by the super-admin (ARC internal team) from back-end. Once these custom attributes are created (from back-end) these are associated with each file in the account. These custom attributes are displayed under the File information screen of a specific file existing on the Folders & Files screen. You can select the custom lookup fields as values of custom attributes in the Folders & Files screen. The selected values are displayed under the custom attribute field of each file. Refer to Add/Modify Attributes help file for more details.

Follow the given procedure to access the Custom Lookup Fields Screen.

These custom attributes are displayed as columns on the right-side file grid view on the Folders & Files screen of a campus.

  • The custom attribute can be of various type like input type (where user needs to enter values), date type (where user needs to select date from a calendar) or selection type (where user needs to select values). The type is determined by the super-admin during creation of the custom attribute from back-end. Only the selection type custom attributes are displayed on the custom lookup fields screen.
