Manage User-Defined Labels

Use this screen to customize labels for the user-defined fields in the Projects domain and for new business budgets in the Planning domain.

User-defined labels help you to enter and track more information about your projects. These labels are optional and are completed for any selected project via the Manage User-Defined Information screen.

You can also use this screen to set up validated text and labels so that you can control what is entered into the user-defined field(s). Validated text labels allow use of and can be created in either of the following ways:

  • Enter a Y (Yes) in the Validated Text column and use the Validated Text table to customize the information you and your users view when clicking on the Manage User-Defined Information screen.
  • Enter a N (No) in the Validated Text column and click in the Costpoint Validation Field column to select the Costpoint data table column that is used for on the Project User-Defined Information screen.

You must set up the labels or validated text for user-defined fields before they are available on the Manage User-Defined Information screen. Although they can be set up at any time, for more complete project information, you should set them up before entering any projects.

Warning: If you delete a label from these tables, all references to that label are deleted from the Project Basic Information tables.
