Custom Fields Options by Workflow

This table describes the custom fields options available, depending on the workflow type. The Field Name and the Display Name are required inputs for all custom fields.
Note: These fields appear on in the specific view, applicable to the workflow type that you select. For example, a Billing custom field appears in the Financials information in the Manager view.
All fields require you to configure some validation for the input. For more information about the validation for custom fields, see Custom Fields Validations.

Billing
Note: You can select additional logic for this custom field type.
Adds custom fields to the Billing section. The Billing custom field type can be configured at the client or OpUnit level.

If you are allocating time to a specific value, configure the custom field, and enable it in this section. For example, if your requirement is to allocate time entered to a specific department, you define the department list as a billing custom field. The list then appears on the worker's time card. For more information about time card types, see Time Card Types.

For a billing custom field, you can configure the following:
  • Allow MSP to set Default Value - Select the check box to allow an MSP user to set the default value that is inserted into the billing line. The default value is set on the Allocation Value List (Allocation tab). For more information about configuring default values, see Cost Allocation at the Engagement Level.
    Note: The default value is visible to client managers, but not editable.
  • Allow Null Info - Allows the field to be saved without a value. Using the check boxes, you can select Time, Expense, Adjustment, Benefit, or any combination of options. Not selecting any options requires you to add a value to the field before you save.
  • Default Billing Info - Allows you to allocate costs through an appropriate billing structure. For more information about setting up these fields, see Default Billing Information.
Requisition Adds editable custom fields to a Requests section. The Requisition custom field type can be configured at the client or OpUnit level.

If a request is reused, the values entered or selected for the request custom fields are copied over to the new request. You can enable or disable this functionality by Delete previous value when reusing a Request / Engagement setting. The default setting is 'F' (copy values over to the new request).

For a custom field, you can configure the following:
  • Section - From the drop down, select the section of the request that the field appears on.
    Note: The Additional Info section for staffing requests can be disabled in the Manager view. If so, your configured request custom fields do not appear. For more information about this setting, see Manager Settings.
    Note: If you configure a custom field for multiple request types including Project Worker requests, the custom field appears in the configured section, but only in the Default section of the Project Worker request. If you configure a custom field for both Project and Project Worker requests, the Project Worker custom field (in the Default section) inherits the values from the Project request. You can edit the inherited values at the Project Worker level.
