System Types Tab
System Types essentially control the drop down boxes you see throughout the application. The purpose of this part of the application was to create an environment each customer could tailor to suit their own needs, while still allowing Cultura to build in programming logic containing business rules around these fields.
In the screen below is a list of all the available system types, from Condemnations to Weather. User will select one of these fields to view and edit.
...
For our example, we will select House Equipment Types. Once you click on the selected type, a list will appear with all available Equipment Types.
The checked checkbox indicates that the item is a System item, and cannot be deleted. It can be set to inactive, however, if you do not wish to see it in the software.
The System Name is the name Cultura has assigned for the item and will display in a drop down box. The Actual Name is the field where you, the user, can overwrite the System Name and see what you want in the drop downs.

To edit an individual field, right click the field and select to edit. To add a new field, select to add new, and the following dialog box appears. All changes can be made and committed in the form below.
