Using the Custom Data inspectors
Each of the three main inspector windows (Project, Task, and Resource) has a Custom Data inspector. You can use this to keep your own information about the project or about individual tasks and resources.
Custom data is stored as key/value pairs. The Key is like a label for what type of information you are storing, and the Value is the information itself.
For example, here's how you could keep track of staff members' phone numbers:
Select a staff resource in the resource outline, and open the Resource Custom Data inspector.
Then click the plus button at the bottom of the inspector to create a new key/value pair.
Name the key "Phone Number".
Enter a number as the value for the selected resource.
Now that you've created the key for this resource, every other resource has the same key, ready for you to enter a value.
You can show custom data as a column in the task and resource outlines, or as a label in the Gantt chart and resource timeline, by choosing View Options from the View menu.
