PracticeMaster Q&A: File Definition Report

January 2023    Tags: Conflict of Interest, PracticeMaster

I need to determine if a field in the Client file is configured for conflict of interest searching. Is there a way to do this without getting everyone out of the software to open File Maintenance?

You can use the File Definition Report to get detailed information about the fields and indexes included in a specific data file, including Area of Practice files.

To access the File Definition Report

1. In the Quick Launch, search for and select “File Definition Report.”
2. Select the file you want to review and click OK.
3. Select your output method and click OK, or click Preview to preview the report.
4. Locate the field you want to check and review the value in the Cnflt column. A “Y” indicates the field is configured for conflict of interest searching.

For more information on interpreting the File Definition Report (and other PracticeMaster reports), see the PracticeMaster Report Pack.
