Creating Step UDFs

Create step user defined fields (UDFs) if the predefined fields do not meet your needs.

To create a step UDF:

  1. Click Administration.
  2. On the Administration navigation bar, click Enterprise Data.
  3. On the Enterprise Data page, expand Activities and click Step UDFs.
  4. On the Step UDFs page:
    1. Click  Add.
    2. In the User Defined Field, double-click and type a name.
    3. In the Data Type field, choose a type from the list.
    4. Click Save.

Tip

If you intend to use reporting software, avoid using commas when creating data other than Project names. The way that data is passed to some reporting software can cause a comma to be interpreted as a delimiter between data items.
