Creating Issue UDFs

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

To create an issue UDF:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Administration and click Enterprise Data.
  2. On the Enterprise Data page, expand Issues and click Issue UDFs.
  3. On the Issue 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.
  • You can create manual UDFs quickly from any UDF detail window, by clicking Assign and then clicking Add in the Assign UDFs dialog box.
