System-required fields and character limits

Throughout ProjectSight, system-required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). You can also add custom-required fields.

  • These lists use the system names and don't reflect any changes made to the nomenclature.
  • When the character limit is reached for a field, the message displays the character limit.
  • Some fields, such as the Notes field in the Project form, don't have a character limit.
