Resource Formula Field not available in Manage Views

[Sanjit Suchak]

Heya,

Using PS2007

In Ent Custom Field Definition, I added a custom formula field to Resources.

I added my new field to the Ent Global Template in Project Professionsal and
when I create a new project using my template, my field shows in Project
Professional and the formula works and all.

However, in Manage Views in my Resource Views, I do not get my custom field
in the Available list.

I did exactly the same exercise for a Project custom formula field and that
showed up as an available field in Project views.

I read a post lower down that indicated that for tasks and resources, you
can't add custom formula fields to views. Is this correct?

Is there a way to achieve this?
I am guessing I can do it through development

You can display resource custom fields in resource views, there should be no
issue here. Probably best to recheck what you've done...

Thanks for the reply.

I've re-checked with the same results ....

I can see resource custom fields in resource views, but only if they're NOT
formula fields.
For Projects, the custom formula fields show in project views.

Are you able to add custom formula fields to resource views?

Thanks
Sanj

Have repeated the exercise for a Task custom formula field and that works
fine too!!

It's just resource formulae
