Hello,
Project Accelerator has many different choices for Project Request, Programs, and Projects. But, very often, I will need different choices, or even new ones.
And, of course there is a way to customize it.
Let me start with a Project Request. I will create a new one:
and:
As we can see, for Priority, I have four options, but I need fifth: (5) Very Low.
First of all, all those fields, like Name, Request State, Priority are stored in Tables, in Dataverse.
For Project Request, there is a table which can be accessed:
and:
since I want to modify the Priority field, I will choose it and I will follow next steps:
and:
and:
That is it. Now back to the Project Request:
and here it is!
Now let’s look at the Program:
and:
What? The same value is available in Program as well. Why? Because both tables are using the same field. And I can see all those Choice fields here:
and:
So I can add, edit or delete them from here, as well.
Finally, the Project!
and:
As you can see, for Project Type I can choose, between: Security, Cloud Computing, etc. Now, let’s say that this Project is Construction type. But, I don’t have this option available. No big deal. I will add it.
and::
and:
I will add Construction as a choice:
and:
Now, let’s get back to my Project:
Voila! Here it is.
So, as you see, if you have right permissions, you will be able to customize many choice fields for your own purpose
Regards!
