Project managers can add metadata to their projects by populating project attributes that were previously defined for Tempo projects. The metadata can provide additional information where project managers can organize their projects and filter them based on this data. For example, projects can be sorted based on a priority level metadata where they can appear at the top of the project list.
A Tempo administrator is able to define custom attributes for the organization, where they are applied to all Cost Tracker projects.
The sum of amount type fields is calcuated and displayed at the bottom of the Project List table.
Configuring Project Attributes with Project Metadata
Select a project from the project list.
Click the Configuration tab to configure the settings for this project.
Click Project Attributes in the left panel.
If the Project Attributes page is empty, contact your Tempo Administrator to define the attributes that you wish to add to your projects.
Enter the values for each attribute in the Project Attributes page.
This metadata is now included in the Project list table. You're now able to organize your projects based on this additional project data.
Organizing Project Metadata in the Project List
The project metadata is listed for all projects in the project list so that project owners can:
Filter the project list using a project field and/or a project attribute field. Only the fields with single-choice data types appear in the filter. Click the Filter box and select a choice for the field or project attribute you are selecting.
Sort the project fields or project attributes in ascending or descending order. Click on the column title to toggle between ascending and descending order.
Order the project attributes by naming them in alphabetical order. Advise the Tempo administrator to name the project Attributes in the order you want them to eventually appear in the project list.
Only attributes that are used in at least one of your projects will appear in the Project List.
