Basic Data Definitions enable Primavera Unifier to provide fields, such as Phase, in which a company can enter their own data values. This enables companies to customize the values presented in some fields in Primavera Unifier.

Several data definitions are predefined in Primavera Unifier. Basic Data Definitions are found in the Basic Data Definitions log.

Note: New data definitions must be deployed before use. Data definitions that have not been deployed will show Not deployed in the Status column.

To access Basic Data Definitions

Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.

Click Data Structure Setup > Data Definitions > Basic in the left Navigator. The Basic Data Definitions log opens. The system-generated data definitions are listed as Company or System in the Category field.
