Example of Defining and Referencing Variable Fields

This is an example of defining and referencing variable fields.

The example below shows the definition of a variable (unknown) field called Owner.

An Owner Activities metric is created that references the Owner variable field. However, at the time of creating the metric, the exact field name is not known (as it will subsequently be defined as a user defined field of an unknown field name).

The Owner variable field is bound to a user-defined field in Primavera called Contractor. This means that the metric can be run against any project irrespective of the actual field name used to represent Owner.

The screenshot below displays the analysis results when using the Owner metric, a count of the number of activities whose user-defined field Contractor has a value of InHouse.
