Custom roles in project

Planfix lets you create custom project roles, which are roles that you add to the system yourself.

Here's how it works:

• One type of custom field that you can add to a project car is an Employee field.
• Each type of this field added to a project template becomes available in task templates. It appears in the list of assignees, participants, and auditors.

This feature allows you to define any role (or multiple roles), add them to a project template, and assign them to specific employees when you create a new project based on the template.

Tasks within the project created with this template automatically inherit these settings and are assigned to employees intended for the corresponding roles.

Creating custom roles

New fields can be added when editing or creating a project template:

Select the Employee field type, name the field, and configure the permissions as needed:

Move the field you've created to the appropriate spot in the project card:

You can also drag and drop it to the appropriate spot as shown here.

Now the custom field will be in all projects created using this template.

Changing the user in a custom role within an existing project
