Custom attributes

A project can have user-defined attributes that are defined for all assets in the project. To define the attributed either click the "project attributes" menu option from the project menu, or go to a prospect/field ID dialog and click "Add/configure" in the "Custom" box on the "General" (first) tab.

Option

The option the user can choose. You can have as many options as you can be bothered to define.

Code number

Each option has an integer code so you can alter the option words a bit, without having to redefine the attribute in all the asset files. The program will choose one for you, but you can alter it if you really want to.

Entry must be in list

Usually you want the the option list to be restrictive, but you can allow any entry by un-checking this box.
