Tips

To delete a configured field, select the field, select  Context, and then select Delete. You cannot delete a configured field if it is used in another configured field, a form, a workflow, or a field mapping.
To choose which currency to view cost in configured fields of data type cost, select the Currency tab in  Settings.
Multi-currency is supported only in data type cost for formula configured fields.
For a configured field of data type cost, the cost formula calculation is performed and saved in base currency then converted to project currency.
For configured fields that are data type number and integer, using cost fields as part of formulas will only produce one value. This value is always calculated and displayed in base currency.
