Putting it together

Ok, so we have done all the hard work. We created new custom fields, a new field configuration, and a new field configuration scheme; the final step is to put everything together and see it in action:

Browse to the Project Administration page for our HR project
Click on the Fields link on the left-hand side and the Use a different scheme option from the Actions menu
Select HR Field Configuration Scheme and click on the Associate button

Alright, we are all done! You can pat yourself on the back, sit back, and take a look at your hard work in action.

Create a new issue of the New Employee type in the HR project, and you will see your new custom fields at the bottom of the page. As shown in the following screenshot, the Direct Manager field is mandatory and an error message is displayed if we do not select a value for it, while the Last Day field is optional:

We will look at how to use separate screens in the next chapter. We can, however, also use field configuration to hide the field for the appropriate issue type.

Go ahead and create New Employee by filling in the fields. On the View Issue page, you will see your new custom fields displayed, along with the values you provide:
