To edit a product's user-defined information:Note: This feature is available only to administrators and to inventory assistants with permission to edit product data.
User-defined information is product data that isn't covered by the standard data fields like common name, primary CAS number, and specific gravity. Administrators can create any number of user-defined fields, each field becoming a new type of data that can be recorded for each product. For any product, you can record one or more items of information in each user-defined field.
Edit a product's user-defined information when you need to add, edit, or delete a recorded item of user-defined information. When a user-defined field isn't available for the information you want to add, see Managing User-Defined Fields for details on adding a new one to your system.
