Creating custom fields in projects

Overview

Custom fields can be applied to projects, giving you the flexibility to organize your content on a more granular level tailored to your organization. Using custom fields in conjunction with other search criteria allows you to better target the content you're specifically looking for.

See the Project Custom Fields Academy course for more information.

Permissions

Only Super Admins or Admins with All Permissions can create project custom fields.
