Data Form.
Workstation:
Used for gathering demographic data about the workstation through the
Collection Data Form.
Component:
Used for defining inventory data about a component.
Product:

Administrator-Defined Fields Panel
The Administrator-Defined Fields panel shows the type of field and the number of defined values.
When you create a
User
or
Workstation
field, it appears on the Collection Data Form as a field for
workstation users to fill out.
Component
and
Product
field values are added to the properties of the
component or product. You can change the field value of an individual component or product by
performing a product or component search, clicking the product or component, and editing the field
value on the Product Details page. For more information, see

Data,” on page 129
