Special Fields

OVERVIEW

This feature enables users to set a default value for numeric fields.

This feature is available from version 5.2.6

SETTING UP NUMERIC FIELDS: NOT APPLICABLE STATE

• Enable the Numeric Fields: Not Applicable state in the System settings.
• The Not Applicable State option is displayed in the numeric field’s edit pop-up within the field layout.
• Select the checkbox for Enable ‘Not Applicable’ State (the text entered by the user in the System setting appear within the quotes).
• When the Set as Default Value checkbox is selected, the default value gets displayed in the numeric fields.

1. If the “Enable ‘Not Applicable’ State” checkbox is checked and the “Set as Default Value” checkbox is unchecked:

   • The Not Applicable checkbox appears in the numeric fields on the Work Item Overview page.
   • The user can either check the checkbox to use the default value or enter any numeric value manually.

2. If both the “Enable ‘Not Applicable’ State” and “Set as Default Value” checkboxes are checked:

   • The Not Applicable checkbox appears in the numeric fields on the Work Item Overview page, pre-filled with the default value.
   • The user can uncheck the checkbox and enter any numeric value manually.

The “Not Applicable State” functionality cannot be enabled if the “Calculations” are enabled in the fields and it is vice versa.
