This dialog is used for setting up what additional information you want to collect for an event type. To get to this dialog, you must first be editing an event type. See Event Type Dialog.
When you set up an event type, you can define additional "event information fields". You can have as many of these fields as you want. When you add an event (see Add Event Dialog), you will be prompted for the additional information that you defined for that event type.
The event types that came with DairyLive may already have some of these fields defined. You can add additional ones or change the existing ones using this dialog.
