Need Common Project Management Fields in Project Setup

Compared to American Contractor's Job Record, the following fields must be created in Procontractor as user-defined fields and stored in the Binder.

Typically, most software programs have these fields in the Project setup directly. Here's what should be added in PC:

County:  Some of us need to report revenue by county. It is also helpful to know where your jobs are!

Owner Name: This is needed for the AIA billing report and is usually an important piece of information for Prelim Notices, etc.

Job Phone/Fax: When trailers are used on the job site, this is important info even if the supervisor's cell phone is used for the Jon Phone. 

Manager: This is the project manager assigned to the job. Very important when you have multiple jobs in progress!

Start Date: This has to be added!

Complete Date: This has to be added. When you are reviewing your job history for the current year or past years, this info is vital. 

Please see this link for a screenshot of AC relating to these fields.

Please add these ASAP for those of us coming from American Contractor. Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks as they all have these fields now!

    Agreed.  These are important items and having to always look in the used defined fields in the binder is a pain.  If the user defined fields had their own separate tab it would help.
