Artifact Types
Sometimes also called object types or tables, allows you to create your own type (database) system. Types like wiki item simple, wiki item advanced, meeting, registration, customer, technical field, asset, address, action...
Attributes
Properties of the artifact are fully free with mandatory, optional, and initial values, formulas. Examples: priority, status, address, contributors, sum of hours, etc. Based on enumerations, integer, boolean, decimal, user, etc. Whether single or multiple choice, counter or sum children, you will love it...
