Add a Milepost User Defined Field

Set up a milepost user defined field (UDF) when you want to assign a different milepost format to a facility type on a pipeline. For example, if coupons require a different milepost format than other facility types on a pipeline, set up a milepost UDF and then assign the UDF at the facility type level in the Facility Location ID Formats mini-grid of Edit ROW Detail (Data Entry > Edit ROW Detail).

Complete the following steps to add a milepost UDF:

1. Click Tools > Field and UDF Customizations to open the Field and UDF Customizations window.
