!BEST PRACTICES for User Defined Columns
* Create the Column on IMCD with a number range in excess of 9000
* Identify the column in the database with a name prefix that is unique to your organization (.e.g BEN_DUE_DATE rather than just DUE_DATE)
* User Defined Columns are recommended over User Defined Fields if you are going to use them for __any__ processing (where clauses, workflow, approvals, loading, etc.). If you are just storing data to be reported on, user defined fields may be sufficient to the task.
* Lexicons that are associated to a User Defined Column must be prefixed with "X_" (.e.g X_CUST_VALUE rather than CUST_VALUE)
* The name of the User Defined Column should not start with a number. Depending on its planned usage in the application, this will cause errors that are not apparent with initial or form setup and usage (usercalcs).
