Procedure

1. In DataCenter Admin, create a user field for the formula that you want to see displayed in the database dialog window, for e.g., SIDE: choose calculated expression SIDE; the user field ID ( in this case 9937) needs to be linked to the database dialog window.

   1. In the Single Design Database Information Dialog Customization section, select Use custom dialog definition file.
   2. Click Customize.
   3. In the right hand column, click Database Information > Userfields > Select the desired user field (for e.g.: 9937) and drag it to the desired position in the Control Layout Manager.
   4. If desired, change the display text via the Text: button, also position and size can be modified.
   5. Save the changes in the defaults.
