Customizing Tasks

If your administrator has created custom fields for the task component, you may be required to complete these fields when entering or modifying tasks or subtasks. The availability of custom fields depends upon your application license.

To set the values for custom properties:

  1. Select a folder from the folder tree and click the Task tab in the upper pane.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click a task or sub-task in the Task pane.
    • Select a task or sub-task in the Task pane and choose Task > Properties .
    • Right-click a task or sub-task in the Task pane and choose Properties.

    The Task Properties dialog box displays.

  3. Double-click a custom property on the Custom tab to open the Edit Property dialog box.
  4. Type or select a new value for the property by double-clicking on the field:
    integer, text, and real fields
    Value is a text box.
    enumerated types and user IDs
    Value is a list box.
    dates and times
    Value has a Date check box and a Time check box, each of which is followed by a date or time in the format for your locale.
    Tip: To enter a blank value for a GroupList or UserList property, click on a selected row to deselect it. When the item is no longer highlighted, click OK.
  5. Click OK.
