Adding Custom Fields
RIB CX provides the ability to use the value of a user field in the reference number as well.
This can be useful for adding the stage of the project or the discipline of the company in your numbering scheme.
To Add a User Field
In the prefix text box add the user field code with brackets.
For example, if on the RFI form the user field code was DISC for discipline, the Prefix box would look like this RFI-{DISC}.
You can add several user fields to reference number.
Click update on the form.
It is best to use select user field types as this ensures you will have validated values in the reference number.
Edit Reference Numbers
When ticking "Company Admins" Project Admins and Company Correspondence Admins can change the reference number.
