Create Local Plan Fields in the Work Plan

Support
Updated

This article explains how to create and manage local plan fields in the Work Planner.

Plan Managers can create local plan fields to capture additional information for work items. These fields are exclusive to your plan and serve for internal reference only. Local plan fields will not be included in the OData feed or in any reports.

Important

You can create up to 10 local fields per plan.

  1. Click the Columns icon. The Select Columns form will open.

  4. Complete the New Task Field form.

    1. Give your new local plan field a Name.

    2. (Optional) enter a description for your field. This description will appear as a tooltip when you hover your mouse over the field in the Work Plan.

    3. Select the field type. Options include:

      • Text

      • Date

      • Number

      • Currency

      • YesNo

      • Choice

      • User

      • Multichoice

      The field configuration form will change dynamically based on your selection. See Create and Edit Plan Fields for more information on the different field types and their configuration.

    4. Check the Required check box if the field is required.

    5. Check the Read Only check box if the field is read-only.

    6. Select the Work Types this local plan fields will be available for.

    Note

    If you do not save a Work Plan view with your local plan fields, they will then become available in the All Columns section of the Select Columns form, so you can add them back into your Work Plan at any time.

  7. Click Ok. Now you can enter data into the local plan field right from your Work Plan.

    Important

    We strongly recommend saving a view with your local plan fields. See Modify and Save Views in the Work Plan Grid for instructions.
