Lists Import Fields

You can import lists of standard values for selected fields.

Generally, these lists contain attributes that you want to assign to employees, generic resources, projects, or opportunities. For example, you can create a standard list of employee skills that you want to track for resource planning purposes. You can then associate specific skills from that list with the employees who possess those skills, and search for and select employees to work on projects based on their skills.
