I want to show custom fields in the Task Usage view, but I can't figure out a
way to show them on the table. Project seems to only allow certain fields to
be added. Is there a way to add say, cost 2, or cost 3, custom fields?
CO User,
OK, this ought to generate some discussion amongst the MVPs. When you
say "table", you are referring to the data on the left side of the
screen (i.e. view table). The data on the right side is "sheet" data
(i.e. timescaled data). So, to add spare fields to the left side, simply
insert them as you would any field as a column.
OK, so let me guess, you are really talking about the "sheet" side of
the Usage view which shows timescaled data. Project does NOT timescale
spare fields and for good reason - it has no algorithms to do so since
spare fields are user defined and can therefore represent many different
kinds of data that may or may not be timescaleable (if that's a word).
By the way, Cost2, Cost3, etc. are spare fields. They only become
customized when the user adds a value list, formula or graphical
indicator.
Hope this helps.
