Create Fields in the Schema Editor

Use the Schema tab in the AccuWork Schema Editor to create new fields in the AccuWork issue database:

Refer to your AccuRev user documentation for more information on using the AccuWork Schema Editor.

The following tables summarize the fields you must create in the AccuWork schema for supported ITSs.

These are the minimum fields required for AccuSync to synchronize issues with your ITS. Consider creating other fields in the AccuWork schema as needed. For example, you might want to create a state field with a type of Choose whose values are Defined, In-Progress, Completed, and Accepted, for example.

Note: The Label column has been left empty. Consider using it to record the name you plan to use for the field’s label in the AccuWork Issue Edit Form, as described in Add Fields to the AccuWork Issue Edit Form. When defining the field Label, consider using the system name with which you are synchronizing as part of the name to remove any ambiguity -- JIRA Issue ID, for example.
