Configure Custom Fields

Custom Fields in cards, available in certain editions of Planview AgilePlace, give you more flexibility to capture additional information within AgilePlace. This is especially useful in conjunction with AgilePlace Integrations or the AgilePlace API.

How Do Custom Fields Work? 

Each board in an Advanced or Premium edition account can have its own custom card fields. These fields can be one of six types: either free-form text, numerals, a date, a list of options in a dropdown menu, muti-select, or Rich Text (20K character limit for Rich Text). Each board can have up to 15 custom fields enabled. Custom fields can be created or configured by board administrators only. Custom Fields on the cards can then be used by other board users. You can also change the order of your custom fields by dragging them.

How Do I Configure Custom Fields?

To configure Custom Fields for a particular board, first go to the board you'd like to configure custom fields on. Then click the in the upper-right corner of the board and select Board Settings.

Select the Custom Fields tab.
