### Parameters

#### category (String)

Category name

#### entry (String)

Variable name

Value (string)

If you are inserting a Time (valuetype: "T") it must be set in epoch-time, meaning seconds since January 1. 1970. The scripting library has a function called GetEpochTime, which will convert a date to seconds since 1-1-1970.

If you want to use 'now' as the value, you can either insert;

- an empty string ("")
- or the value ("0")

#### valuetype (string)

The type of the value

Valid valuetypes are;

- "S" for string
- "I" for integer
- "T" for time

### Example

**VBScript**

```vb
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddCustomUserInventory("Department", "Name", "Sales", "S")
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddCustomUserInventory("Department", "Office", "15", "I")
```
