8.2.22.4 Configure User Data Form
RSN User Data elements must be defined in the RCT before they can be edited on a form. To
define the RCT User Data elements, the RCT provides a Configure User Data tab with a
table used to add, edit, and remove data element definitions.
Figure 21: Configure User Data Form
An RCT User Data element definition consists of
• An element name
This becomes the field label on the RSN User Data form.
• A data type
This is used to validate what are allowable values and to indicate how the data is stored in
the user data block.
There are three types:
• String – any set of characters and stored as a fixed length set of characters as defined by
the data length
• Int. – an 4 byte integer value
• Float – a 5 byte floating point value
• Data Length
This is only relevant for elements of data type equal to string. This specifies the length of
the string. It is necessary to control the space allocated in the user data for this string data
element.
• Number of Rows
This informs the user data entry form how many rows should be displayed for this field.
It is mainly useful for longer string data elements that may need multiple lines of entry.
• Required
This indicates if this field is required. This affects validation on the User Data Entry
form. A required field must have an entry before a RSN level configuration can be
saved.
