User Defined Field

User Defined Field

In Asta Teamplan - a project portfolio management tool for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) and departments within larger organisations - all projects can be saved in its own proprietary database format or in a format such as MDB, which can be read by Microsoft Access and some other applications.

Users can add their own user-defined fields to tables in the database. For example, users can add fields for country codes or national insurance numbers.

User defined fields are particularly useful when combined with OLE automation. For example, users might want to integrate a stock control system with Asta Teamplan and have part numbers from the stock control system stored in the project with resource properties.To do this, one could write a macro invoking OLE functions to read the part numbers from the stock control system and write them in the Asta Teamplan project once the user-defined field has been set up.

User defined fields can also be used to link objects, for example tasks and resources, to external documents. This can be accomplished by creating 'URL'-type user-defined fields. User will then be able to enter hyperlinks to external documents, or to webpages on the Internet or an intranet, into these fields in the projects.
