Extra Information Types (EITs) are a type of flexfield that allows you to set up unlimited amounts of extra information. They are often used by localizations for capturing local information.

Example of an Extra Information Type:

You can capture passport information for an employee or worker by creating an EIT entitled Passport Details with the following segments:

• Country

• Passport number

• Issue date

• Expiry date

See: Extra Information Types

Entering Details for EIT Segments and Additional Details for Each of one the EIT Segments

Depending on how an EIT is setup, when you enter a value for a EIT segment, you can capture additional information for that segment as the application automatically sets the context for the dependent flex. For example, you are entering Academic Rank Details EIT and you select Lecturer as the value in the Academic Rank segment. If the Lecturer value requires more information based on the setup, then the application sets the context of dependent flex and displays segments for the Lecturer value.
