Only administrators can manage the network settings.

These settings concern all users in the company and therefore apply to the entire network.

Types of custom fields proposed

The cases of use are numerous thanks to the 6 types of predefined fields :

Short text : addition of a field to enter short text
Number : addition of a field for entering a number
Date : added a field to choose a date using a calendar
Multiple choice : addition of a field offering multiple choices to be defined
Drop-down list : addition of a field with a drop-down list with several options to be defined
File : addition of a field to integrate a specific file

Add a custom field

To configure the network custom fields :

From your profile, go to Settings
Under Network Settings, click Custom Fields
Click on Add a custom field
A window opens, choose the type of field you want (see previous section).
A window opens, define the field label by choosing an icon and a name. The icon will be used to represent the field in the task details panel.
Define if the custom field is global, two options here: a custom field can be activated on all tasks in the network or only on one or more workspaces.
In this example, the Drop-down list type has been chosen, so you need to define the options in this list by entering them in the field provided. It is possible to Sort the options not in alphabetical order or to choose their order manually using the tool to the left of the option.
If necessary, choose a colour to distinguish between the different options.
Click Save

The custom field now appears in the details panel of all tasks on the network or tasks in one or more workspaces depending on the option chosen. It is now possible to choose the Task Progress Status based on the options provided.
