Creating a Custom Field for Inventory

Use the following procedure to create a custom field for inventory.

Once custom fields are created, project Analysts and Reviewers can update the values for these fields for any inventory item. They can also filter inventory on custom field values at the project and global levels.

To create a custom field for inventory, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)

  2. On the Administration page, select the System Settings tab on the left.

  3. In the Custom Fields for Inventory section, click Add Field to open the Add Custom Field dialog.

  4. Enter the attributes of the custom field you are creating. For a description of each attribute, see Attributes Used to Define a Custom Field for Inventory.

  5. Click Save. The new custom field is added to the list of custom fields in the Custom Fields for Inventory section on System Settings tab. Additionally, the field's configuration determines its availability in Code Insight. For more information about the availability of the field once you save its definition, see Disabling or Re-enabling a Custom Field for Inventory.
