Creating customised fields
If you need to store additional information about a reference, such as quotes, a course code, or comments you have about an item, you can create a customised field just for that purpose. To add a customised field:
- Select Edit > Preferences
> Reference Types from the left side of
the Preferences
Window, then
.
The template for each reference may be selected from the drop
down list at the top of the Modify
Reference Types Window - Within the Journal Article template, scroll down to one of the Custom fields, then type your field name, for example, Course Code, in the cell to the immediate right.
- This new field must be included within each of the Reference
Type templates - select
to apply across all templates, then
.
Once you have created a customized field you can then display this field as a column heading in the Library Window. Also consider using Custom Groups to organise your references.
