Add Schedule Custom Fields

Custom fields allow you to gather additional information that may not be covered in the schedule or schedule details for reporting purposes. Although you can add schedule custom fields in the Schedule Settings, it is recommended that custom fields are added through Global Custom Fields, which will allow you to add custom fields to any Trimble Unity Construct module or object.

For more information on custom fields, see About Global Custom Fields and Add/ Edit Custom Fields.
