Project Wizard Step 3–Configure Issue Information Fields

The project fields created by the Project Setup Wizard are displayed in the dialog box.  They are based on the project template you selected.  These are the fields that will be displayed in the Issue Information section of the Issue pages later, after the project has been built. In this step, as long as there are no dependent fields, you can re-order or delete fields (for more information on field dependencies, refer to Field Dependencies).  If you would like to make additional changes to these fields, select Administration | Project | Field Maintenance from the FootPrints Toolbar after completing the Wizard.

There is a different Step 3 if you are using the IT Service Management template, which is described in the next topic.

Note

When creating additional projects with the Wizard, the full Field Maintenance dialog is available for adding and changing fields.

To re-order the fields:

1. Select a field in the dialog box (it will be highlighted in blue).
2. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to move a field up and down in the list.
3. Continue to re-order the fields are desired. This is the order in which they are displayed in the project.

To delete a field:

1. Select the field in the dialog box (it will be highlighted in blue).
2. Click Delete.  The field is removed from the dialog and is no longer included in the project.

Note

The Delete button is only visible when your project template does not contain any dependent fields.  There are instances where deleting dependent fields can cause problems, so the Delete button is not available in the installation version of the Project Setup Wizard for those cases.

When you have finished making any changes desired to the project fields, click Next.
