Custom field in EPPM WBS structure

[FranciscoCosta]

Dear experts,

Our client has a requirment to have a field that indicates how far along a project or a WBS is. To meet thos requirement, we have created the custom field "Project Execution".

This printscreen shows how the custom field was created.

However we are facing two issues:

1 - The first issue is that we are only being able to record values, for this field, for the WBS elements not for the project. When we try to save values for the project, after saving, the field value goes back to 0.00.

2 - The customer also wants this field to show up in a custom report that we have built. However, for the column Project Execution, its rows are being filled in with the maximum value, which is not correct.

Best regards,

Francisco Costa

Hello @FranciscoCosta 

That’s perfectly understandable!Numeric custom fields can only use Sum, Max, and Min options in Custom Fields Logic.

How to get what you want:

• Average or no roll-up: In Custom Analytical Query, set the measure’s Exception Aggregation to Average, select a Reference Characteristic such as WBS/Project, or None.
• Never aggregate utilise a text mirror field for display, or compute and persist the header value on Project (PROJ) via Custom Fields & Logic.

If you have further questions, let me know

With regards

Hello Chuma. For this field the system only displays the tab Properties, it doesn't display the tab Expression or the tab Aggregation (which is the one that you mentioned)
