Capture accurate data with Project field hierarchies

  • Similar to Cascading Metadata in document fields, you can now create hierarchies using project fields.
  • Set relationships between project fields, so they show only when needed. For example, selecting a country gives a list of the states or provinces in that country.
  • Save re-work and apply the same hierarchy to multiple document types.
