Add/ Edit Custom Field Dependency Page

This page allows administrators to establish field-dependent relationships based on the values of the controlling and dependent field selected on the Add Custom Field Dependency page. Multiple associations can be created from this page. An export option is available and it allows you to export field dependency data to an Excel spreadsheet. Additional associations can be added to the file and then imported back into Trimble Unity Construct to simplify the process. The import/export options are ideal for working with a large number of custom field dependencies and will help you disseminate the information to other members of your organization more easily. To learn more about custom field dependencies, see About Custom Field Dependencies.
