Lesson Video: Data Outside the Box

⏳ Coming Soon

Learn how to create entirely new fields not standard in P6 (e.g., Contract Number, Consultant Name).

If you can't find a specific field, Primavera allows you to "build it yourself" using **UDFs**.

1. Creating the UDF

Open **Enterprise** > **User Defined Fields**. Select the Data Type (Text, Number, Date). Example: Soil Type at site.

2. Displaying and Entering Data

Add your new field as a column in any window and demonstrate manual data entry.
