39.3.3 From the Home screen, click "Administration" and click "Custom Field" to open the "Custom Fields" screen.

 

On a new row select your Discipline (if you are not sure, this is held in the "Setup"), enter the Control Name ( txtLDF1), and then enter the name you wish for the element in the New Control Text ( PID or Lot or District). Continue until all the elements you need have been entered.

 

The Control text of each element should not be too long as the Land / Legal Description displayed on the forms includes this text.

 

For example: "PID 104102499 Lot 10 Block 4 Section & Rge 10 District Victoria"
