FootPrints Fields

FootPrints comes with a number of built-in fields and options that, while they can be customized, cannot be removed.  The fields can be customized in that the labels for these fields can be changed for display throughout the system or Project.  When a change is made to a field label, it is displayed dynamically in all FootPrints forms, including Create Issue, Edit Issue, Advanced Search, and Advanced Reports.  Customizable internal fields include:

• Title
• Status
• Priority
• Description—The Description field can also have its size (the number of rows and columns) customized.
• Assignee
• Request

Along with changing the names of FootPrints fields, the default names of the following built-in statuses can also be changed from the System Administration option:

• Open
• Closed

Note

Open and Closed can be changed per Project on the Status Administration page.
