Using the Data Fields Tab in a Project
Last updated: March 11, 2026
The Data Fields tab in a project allows you to view and update structured information associated with that project.
Data fields help store important information about the project such as:
Customer segment
Implementation details
Target launch dates
Internal tracking fields
These fields can then be used for reporting, automation, and personalization across OnRamp.
Viewing Project Data Fields
To view project data fields:
Open a Project
Click the Data Fields tab
You will see a list of fields that belong to the project, including:
Name – the label of the data field
Location – where the field is stored (Project, Account, etc.)
Type – the field format (dropdown, date, text, etc.)
Visibility – whether the field appears in the project task list view
Current Value – the value currently assigned to the field
Internal users can update the value directly from this screen.
Updating Data Field Values
To update a data field:
Click the Current Value field
Select or enter the new value
The update will save automatically
These values can be used across the platform in areas such as:
Project reporting
Workflow automations
CRM integrations
Task or portal personalization
Data Field Visibility
Each data field includes a Visibility column that determines whether the field appears in the Project List view.
Two visibility states are available.
Visible (Green Eye Icon)
When the visibility icon shows a green eye, the data field will appear at the top of the task list in the List tab.
This makes the field easy to reference while working inside the project.
Common examples include:
Customer Segment
Go-Live Goal Date
Implementation Type
These fields appear above the modules and tasks for quick visibility.
Hidden (Red Eye with Line)
When the visibility icon shows a red eye with a line through it, the field is hidden from the project List view header.
The field still exists in the Data Fields tab, but it will not appear above the task list.
This is useful for fields that are:
Used only for reporting
Used in automations or workflows
Not necessary for daily project work
Adding Optional Data Fields
Projects may include optional data fields that are not automatically added.
From the Data Fields tab, you can click:
+ Add Optional Data Field
This allows you to add additional predefined fields to the project when needed.
Managing Data Field Definitions
If you need to modify the structure of a field (such as its type or options), click:
Manage Data Fields
This opens the configuration area where administrators can manage the available fields used across projects.
How Data Fields Are Used
Project data fields commonly support several workflows across OnRamp.
Reporting
Fields can be used in Insights and reporting dashboards to analyze trends such as:
Implementation timelines
Customer segments
Project ownership
Automations
Data fields can trigger workflow automations or external integrations.
For example:
Updating a CRM property
Triggering a webhook
Driving automation rules
Project Context
When visible in the List tab, data fields provide important project context for internal users while working through tasks.
Best Practices
✔ Use visible fields for information teams reference frequently
✔ Hide fields used only for reporting or automation
✔ Standardize fields across playbooks to keep reporting consistent
✔ Avoid adding unnecessary fields that teams won’t maintain
Thoughtfully designed data fields help keep project data organized while supporting automation and reporting across your workspace.
