How do I add category default field

[Arul Sebastian]

Hi,

I want to add the category field to my projects in project center. So if I
add this field to summary view for the project it displays the project
category in the project center in pwa. But how do I add vales for category
field, say I can categorise projects like IT, Marketing etc.

Also if I check out enterprise global and goto Tools->Customize->field the
"field" menu is disabled. Could you please tell me how I can enable this menu.

Hi Arul,

If you are using Project Server 2007, Enterprise Custom fields are no longer
created in the Enterprise Global, but in PWA:
In PWA, with the administrative permissions:
Server Settings / Enterprise Custom Field Definition
You have to create first a Lookup table in the bottom of the page (with le
list of your Categories) then to attach this lookup table to a Custom field
in the upper section of the page.
Hope this helps

Hi Gerard,

The category field is not a enterprise custom field I want to add. It is
already there for the project as a default field, I just want to input data
to the field for my projects in the project center like 'IT' and 'Marketing'.
Could you please help
