Set Up & Use Custom Numbers

Custom numbers are available only for certain records and therefore may be edited, but not created.

Some custom numbers are cycle-specific. If the custom number is cycle-specific, the column displays the user’s current cycle. If the custom number is not cycle-specific, this column displays All Cycles. AptaFund determines which numbers are cycle-specific.
