Status Optional Field Types and Behaviors

This Document can be found in the following categories:

Intrinsic Types

Read

Calculated fields, e.g. Labor Cost; calculated optional fields, e.g. Current Phase

Edit

Fields that are editable directly in the cell

List

Standard controlled list fields, e.g. Domain, State

Lookup

User defined fields controlled by an administered lookup list

 

Optional Field Types

Any user defined field that is not a lookup list field or the destination of an optional calculated field can be given one of the optional field types by the PDWare administrator.

GYR

A GYR value can be entered.

GYR colors are applied on the Project Data sheet and in the Status module if the value is one of "G, Y, R, na".

Pop-up

When the field is selected the large text dialog appears.

 

Field Edit Rights

Fields that are recorded when status is submitted are of two types, standard and controlled. Project managers automatically have edit rights to standard fields.

Controlled fields are defined in the administered Status Field List. Fields in the list are visible in the PDWare Status module and can optionally be made read only.
