    For example, to add a field after or before a particular field, first click the field where the insertion is located. Then, click After Selected Field(s) or Before Selected Field(s).
  3. Then, click the Add tool that is located below the Definition list.
    Use this dialog box to select the new fields. Click List and double-click the field to add.
  4. If necessary, then use the editing tools by clicking the appropriate tool that is located below the Definition of the Selected Segment list box.
  5. Specify if the field is required, optional, or repeating:
    • Required specifies the field’s inclusion is required.
    • Optional specifies the field’s inclusion is optional.
    • Repeats specifies the number of repeats. Select the check box and then click Unlimited or a specific number of times the field repeats.
