Object Types Overview

Object types are the basis of PowerSteering upon which other items are built. They have the following characteristics:

• Can be projects, ideas, organizations, programs, or none of these.
• Can appear on timesheets or be not allowed on timesheets.
• Can be customized with icons.
• Can be assigned allowed and required roles.
• Can be assigned "parents" to control where they are allowed in the Work Tree.
• Can be selected when creating new roles, tags, custom fields, and templates.

PowerSteering comes pre-configured with a few different object types. You are not able to create new object types from scratch, but you can copy an existing object type and build a new object based on it.
