| JNDI | If you want to manage dropdown values dynamically via a database query, you need to define your JNDI here. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Naming_and_Directory_Interface and below.

| Assignments | The activity types or projects (depending on WLA Type) this WLA is assigned to. Assignments define if (under which conditions) the WLA appears on the "Log Work" mask. For more information, see below. | |||||
| Depend on Activity Type | By default, a WLA Type "PROJECT" is directly displayed in the "Log Work" mask for all projects this WLA has been assigned to. "Depend on Activity Type" changes this behaviour and the WLA will only be displayed (in the "Log Work" mask for all projects this WLA has been assigned to) after the user has selected (any) activity type.
| Only applicable for WLA Type "PROJECT". | ||||
| Active | If the WLA is currently active. | It is not possible to delete a WLA that is in use. You can only deactivate it. If you deactivate a WLA, all data is kept, but the WLA is no longer available for new work logs (when editing a work log, you can either not save or need to clear/delete the data of this WLA). | ||||
| Mandatory | If the WLA is a mandatoy field in the "Log Work" mask. | |||||
| Global (All) | If the WLA is globally assigned to all activity types or all projects (depending on WLA Type). See below. | If you choose this option, it is not required to define individual assignments.
