Project and Task Codes

Project and task codes are custom attributes that enable project managers and team members to capture additional information.

Here's how project and task codes are used:

  • Project managers can manage project codes values from the Edit Project Details page.

  • Project managers can manage task code values from the Manage Project Plan page.

  • Team members can manage task code values when managing tasks from the Manage Tasks page.

Project application administrators can manage project and task codes from the Manage Enterprise Project Codes page and the Manage Enterprise Task Codes page respectively. After you create project and task codes, they're available in all the project plans.

You can also use them to analyze your projects by including them in the Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) reports.

Manage Project and Task Codes

Here's a table that lists and describes the three data types that can be used to create project and task codes.

Data Type

Details

Value Set

Used to define attributes where users can select from a list of values. Use the Value column to define values for the project or task code.

You can create up to 40 project or task codes of the type Value Set.

Note: The sequence in which values are specified defines the order in which the values appear in the drop-down list.

Numeric

Used to define attributes that capture numeric values.

You can create up to 10 project or task codes of the type Numeric.

Free Form Text

Used to define attributes that capture free-form text values. The maximum length for text is 200 characters.

You can create up to 20 project or task codes of the type Free For Text.

Note: You can't assign the same code to both project and task codes because they share the same definition.
