Overview


This represents all the fields that make up a user defined field value. User Defined Fields (UDFs) allow you to track custom attributes of clients, engagements, projects, and resources that are specific to your business and that Projector was not originally designed to track. Each user defined field has a designated data type, and the format of the UDF value depends upon the UDF's data type.
