CRITICAL

Changes made to the RMS can significantly alter the underlying Framework ECM database. Please consult with Insula Software before making changes.

The RMS Field Context screen displays the available fields and allows for options to be set for default values, customisation, and the behaviour of the field in reporting.

RMS Field Context Dialog

This dialog is used to update the RMS field context. Changes made to this area of the system will be overwritten when an upgrade is performed except for custom default values and customised label modifications.

The primary reason an RMS field context is updated is to set new default values when creating a new job and to be provide a customised field name in reporting. These fields are updated as a part of the Framework upgrade. Four tabs are available:

General Tab
Default Values Tab
Customisation Tab
Notes Tab

RMS Field Context Dialog - Default Values Tab

The Default Values tab is used to set a default value for an RMS field context. Changing the default value of a RMS field context will only apply that value to new jobs in the system.

Example

Let's say the system's default value for the maintenance period is 90 days but due to local council regulations, for regional areas, this must be set to 120 days. This is performed by adding a default value to the maintenance period RMS field context.

Default Values List

Value	Value of the default value.

RMS Field Context Dialog - Customisation Tab

The Customisation tab is used to create a custom field name that can be viewed on the Fields list on the Field Criteria tab of the Standard Criteria dialog.

Example

Let's say that a builder would like the field Client Full Address, on the Fields list on the Field Criteria tab of the Standard Criteria dialog, to be called Client Address. This would be performed by customising the RMS field context name.
