The Project Details Object consists of three tabs:
Details tab
Expenditure tab
Phase tab
This object
is mandatory for Project Creation and thus a workflow cannot exist without this object.
can be renamed.
All tabs in this object can also be
Renamed or
Individually switched off if not required for your workflow.
IMPORTANT: In project creation, the 'Details' tab is displayed even if it is switched off via the Object Editor so that mandatory information can be entered at a minimum and saved. If you attempt to view the project record at a later time, the details tab will not be visible.
The fields in the details tab can be re-ordered to meet your organisational requirements.
