CREATING CUSTOM FIELDS AND STOP LIGHT CHARTS

Custom fields allow you to create, modify and calculate custom data based upon the extensive MS Project database. They also allow you use your project file as the central repository for your plan. Graphical indicators paired with custom fields are used to create Stoplight charts, which can help readily identify potential problems in your project schedule. We guide you through the setup criteria and the use of graphic indicators to analyze your project data in your custom fields.
