Fixed Assets by Value report does not show custom fields

1

Adding a custom field to the Fixed Assets input Screen (Acquisition Date) does not show it on the Fixed Asset Value report.

2

It is not supposed to show. Report content is not affected by custom fields.

3

According to the guides it is ???

4

Which Guide?

5

Custom Fields

6

That isn’t the name of a Guide. Provide a link.

I just searched for Custom Fields at the Guides front page

https://www.manager.io/guides/8941

Thanks.

Good, so then you will notice that it nowhere states as @Tut explained that custom fields can be placed/shown on any report such as the Fixed Asset Value report but on:

Custom fields can be placed on records and transactions for most functional tabs enabled in the navigation pane

Sorry, but I must disagree!!

  • The options can be re-ordered by dragging their arrows up or down
  • Description provides a place to explain a custom field’s purpose to users. Information entered here does not appear anywhere on a transaction form.
  • Check Show custom field as a column if you want the field to be included in listings of the relevant tab.
  • Check Show custom field on printed documents to display the field on forms.
  • If the Show custom field on printed documents box is checked, another checkbox appears to indicate whether to Show at the top of printed documents:

If the box is not checked, custom fields appear at the bottom.

@Tigidad please read carefully: Custom Fields will not show as explained in Reports. They only show as per guide and as you wrote yourself tab listings and their edit (forms) and their related view (document) screens that you can print.

11

Furthermore, you can not assign custom fields to any reports under the reports tab such as Profit and Loss statements. Therefore they will never show in any of the reports you create.

Both of your responses disagree with the Guide.

Check Show custom field as a column if you want the field to be included in listings of the relevant tab.

  • Check Show custom field on printed documents to display the field on forms.
  • If the Show custom field on printed documents box is checked, another checkbox appears to indicate whether to Show at the top of printed documents:

This is clearly a programming error (BUG)!

13

Sorry but you are not reading our replies. All you write is correct for tab listings but reports are NOT tab listings see my last post and try!

14

If the Show custom field on printed documents box is checked, another checkbox appears to indicate whether to Show at the top of printed documents:

15

Yes, but only on the print screens of the tab listings where they apply. As mentioned before you can not assign custom fields to reports (try! it is not possible!).

16

Where under Availability does it say Reports? (Although I think it should be possible. You can select custom fields in Custom reports but I tried and it doesn’t work).

17

I also tried to create a Custom Report but I cannot find how to select my Custom Field.

18

OK, I give up. Can you please explain what these phrases you highlight actually mean: -

“Custom fields can be placed on records and transactions for most functional tabs enabled in the navigation pane”

“All you write is correct for tab listings but reports are NOT tab listings see my last post and try!”

The text I quoted comes from the guide you referred to in earlier post and is the introduction sentence listed under Availability to the list of all where they can be used, see the link at:

All that you need to know is explained in the guides. Please also note that it does not apply to any reports under the reports tab. So what is not there can not be used.

Yes, and under Availability they can be use in Fixed and Intangible Assets. I have created a Custom Field in the Fixed Assets input screen so where can I see that?
