Hi Tony,

Not sure what you mean by another set of custom fields.

Custom fields are added by creating a plugin, and defining them per form via the plugin maintenance form:

Defining custom fields in a plugin


Once defined, the Custom Fields tab of the inventory maintenance form will display the fields and allow the user to edit the values for the item. Each field has a column indicated which plugin the field came from:

An alternative to this is to create an Inventory Attribute Group - this lets you define many fields for a group:

Create an attribute group


The user can then add this group to an item, and then set the field values via the Attributes tab on inventory maintenance:

Attribute values on inventory maintenance


If you're wanting something different, then you'll need to explain a bit clearer.

Hi Mike,

What I am trying to achieve is another completely seperate tab in Inventory maintenance that can contain it own custom fileds.
ie. Custom tab called say "Inventory Specifications" and in this tab have the ability to add say 10 custom fields or different data type etc just like you can in current custom tab area.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony,

You'll need to write a plugin to do that.
