Tips for Designing Custom Pages and Fields

You can insert two types of fields:

1. Custom fields. These enable you to track information specific to your needs. Sage HRMS stores the information in one of the custom databases.
• For single-record pages, fields are stored in HRTKPERS.
• For multi-record pages, fields are stored in the page's unique database, TKMULXXX.
2. Sage HRMS fields.  These enable you to reference information such as an employee's address or telephone number.

• Most of the fields from the Employee Personnel (HRPERSNL) database can be updated from single-record custom pages.
• Each custom page consists of two columns, each of which can include up to ten fields:
• A single-record, single tab page can include a maximum of 20 fields.
• A single-record, multi-tab page can include up to 16 fields per page for a maximum of 80 fields.
• A multi-record, multi-tab page can include up to 18 fields per page for a maximum of 90 fields.
• Custom fields can always be edited on a custom page. However, Sage HRMS fields may be display-only:

Fields from the Employee Personnel (HRPERSNL) database, can generally be updated from your custom pages.
