Checking Document fields are correct

Now, check that the document fields for your new project have been created correctly.

Tip!

Note: it is not possible to edit a document field label or the help text directly. If you want to change either of these, please contact Service Desk.

  1. From the navigation menu, click Setup, and select Project Settings. 
     
  2. Click Documents and select Document Fields.
     
  3. Check that all Document Fields are correct, as per your Project Configuration document.

Check for the following:

  • Are the document fields labeled correctly?
  • Are the correct document fields marked as mandatory?
  • Have the correct document field types been used? (for example select lists, or text fields)
  • Are the fields you have selected searchable?

 

Tip!

If the Lock fields labels button is greyed out you cannot make changes to this screen. Contact our Service Desk, who will be able to make the changes for you.

Some document fields must always be included on an Aconex project

Some document fields must be included on every project. These fields either: 

  • can't be edited
  • allow you to make only minor changes.

While these fields must be included in your project, you can configure most so they are not mandatory for project participants to complete.
