To track data that is not captured by the default set of fields, create new fields
that fit your project's purposes.
You can create the following user-defined fields in each tracker:
- Up to 30 text entry fields.
- Up to 30 single-select fields.
- Up to 30 date fields.
- An unlimited number of multiple-select fields.
- An unlimited number of user fields.
CAUTION:
Creating a large number of multiple select and user fields
may hurt CollabNet
TeamForge
performance.
-
Click Project Admin in the project navigation bar.
-
Click Tracker Settings.
-
From the list of existing trackers, click the tracker to which you want
to add a user-defined field.
-
On the Tracker Fields page, click
Add.
-
On the Create Field page, provide a name for the
field.

Choose a display type from the Input Type
menu.
- Text Entry - Allows the submitter to
enter a body of text.
- Single Select - Allows the submitter to
select a value from a drop-down list.

to select one or more values from a drop-down list.
- Date - Allows the submitter to select a
date from a calendar.

The remaining fields that appear depend on your selection.
-
Decide whether the field is required.
- If users must fill in this field, select
Required. Required fields
automatically appear on the Submit Artifact
page.
Note: If you make the field required, you must specify a
default value. This value is applied to existing artifacts
and artifacts that are moved from another tracker.
- If you make a User field
required, specify one or more default users.
- If you make a Date field
required, the default is "today."
- For optional fields, select or clear Display on
Submit. This defines whether the field will
appear on the Submit Artifact
page.
-
To prevent the field from being used at all, select
Disabled.
By default, new fields are enabled.
-
Configure the shape of the field with the Field
Width and Field Height
fields.
-
If this is a Text Entry field, click
Save Field.
The new field is created.
-
If this is a Single Select or
Multiple Select display type, click
Add in the Values
section of the Create Field page to add more
values for the user to choose from.
-
Keep adding fields until you have the list of options you want, then
click Save Field.
