Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

you can not have a blank column per say. The column must first be defined before it can be displayed. You can create your own user defined field and then display this column. 

This a database not a spreadsheet in a database the fields must first be defined with a name and a type of field before they can be used.

  1. From Gantt Chart, Write click.
  2. Select column 
  3. Select User define
  4. Select MPS Activity ID  - Click Apply.Click Edit Column to rename such as Notes, Basis etc..
  5. Go to Gantt Chart, On MPS Activity ID Column, start writing what you wish too. MPS Activity ID was similar to Text in MS Project.

Sorry I assumed that you already have the user defined column NEW, you can add this column by clicking enterprise then user defined fields click Add and select the data type.

I believe blank column mean userdefined field.

Click View--Columns and click ’User Defined’ and show whatever type of data you going to store from the predefined column of define your own.

regards
