Extending organization and item detail screens

When you extend a table used by the Item Details screen or the Organization Details screen in the Applications Manager, this adds a pop-up action icon to the main screen. This icon enables access to a pop-up screen that contains all of the relevant extended fields.

For example, when you extend the organization table, a pop-up access icon is added to the default organization screen. When the user clicks this icon, a pop-up screen displays all of the extended attributes that are relevant to this table.

Typically, extended attributes on the pop-up screen appear as text input boxes. In the case of the Item Detail screen, any item attribute that is specified as a classification displays as a classification lookup. This lookup enables the user to select any classification value that has been configured.

Fields on the pop-up screen can be grouped together. These groups are displayed in alphabetical order on the screen. Likewise, the fields within each group are displayed in alphabetical order.
