Which fields in the Specifications tool can be configured as required, optional, or hidden?

Background

Certain fields in the Specifications tool can be configured as required, optional, or hidden. For example, if you want to make a certain date required, or hide a section that is not relevant to you and your team, you can configure these preferences in the Company level Admin tool and then apply them to one or more projects. Not all fields are configurable. Fields not available for configuration are in gray italics with the default setting marked in the table. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets.

After a fieldset has been created, custom fields can be created and added to the Specifications tool in the selected projects. See Create New Custom Fields.

Note: The Specifications tool must be active for projects in your account in order to create configurable fieldsets and custom fields for specifications. This feature is not available for specifications imported to the Admin tool.

Note:

  • A GREEN checkmark Icon Permissions Access Check indicates the possible settings for the field.
