Customize your Database: Field Labels on the EDIT SCREEN

Did you know you can customize the name of fields in your AES Wave! databases?

It is extremely easy to do and should be done to tailor the program to the way your shop operates. Open any one of your AES Wave! databases and go to the EDIT screen for any record. Hover your mouse over any field name and double click it. (Field names are the black text labels located just above the white boxes with the black arrow.) A small window will pop up. Type in the new name and click OK. The EDIT screen will now display your new custom field name. This customized field name will also appear on all printouts and database screens.
