During data entry of address information or contact information, it can be needed to define the purpose.

Before you can add a purpose field to a data entry workflow template step, create the field in the related workflow document.

You can only add a purpose field to a workflow document record that is related to one of these tables:

• DirPartyLocation
• LogisticsElectronicAddress

You add a purpose field as a virtual field to the workflow document.

When you have added the purpose field to the workflow document, you can add it to a data entry workflow template step. To do so, use the Add field from workflow document function.

1.	Go to Data entry workflow > Design > Data entry workflow templates.
2.	In the list, find and select the desired data entry workflow template.
3.	On the Action Pane, click General.
