Adding a field, means that a new column is added to the detailed projects list.

 

To add a field, you select a proper field in the Available fields list to the left.

 

Please note that you have four database files to select fields from. Which projects database file you select from, is decided using the Database field in the top left of the dialogue box. A drop-down list is available to do that selection. Please refer to the Additional fields suitable for presentation sub-topic for a list of typical fields and information of which database file they belong to.
