You'll learn to

• Add custom fields
• Write a formula column
• Connect and mirror another project

Add custom fields in project settings: text, number, date, choice, yes/no, person, link.

• Formula columns calculate from other columns, for example {Hours} * {Rate} or IF({Done?}, 0, DAYS({due_date}, TODAY())).
• Connect columns link a task to tasks in another project (for example, design requests).
• Mirror columns show something from the connected tasks: their status, dates, or one of their columns, as a list, a sum or "% done".

Try it: add *Hours* and *Rate* number columns and a *Cost* formula.
