You can create Custom Data Types if required by your application. Custom data types are available to use in non-global procedures or events in the application, but not outside the application. Creating a custom data type requires creating the list of different properties for the custom data type. For example, create a data type Book with the Book Title and Author as properties.
NOTE: This menu option is not available for Global events. It is available for all other events and procedures.
Follow the steps below to add a custom data type:
1. Select the add button (a pop-up window will open)
2. Add the (A) name of the custom data type
3. Add the (B) Property Name
4. Add the (C) Property Type. The options are Boolean, DateTime, Decimal, Integer, Long, and String
5. To add more properties, select (D) Add Property and repeat steps 3 and 4 for each property added
NOTE: You can delete individual properties by selecting the X icon
