Allow Account Admins to set up custom project settings.

Maybe this is burried someplace already, but I have been unable to find it. I wish there were a way for us to develop custom Project Settings within ACC. Right now, the settings barely cover basic project data (Location, Project Type, Value, Name, Job Number, etc). However, when dealing with firmwide data, metrics, and dashboarding, it would be helpful to add our own fields to this list so we can slice our PowerBI dashboards a little easier.

Some fields we would like to add for our firm would be:

• Client - So that we can see which clients are generating more
• Studio - This 'Business Unit' value in BIM360 served this purpose for us, but that was removed in ACC, so now we cannot quickly see which teams are have smooth/poor CA performances
• Gross Square Footage - This would be a very valuable slicer, I can track performance from our large, medium, and small projects seperately (e.g. a 4,000 sqft office project is radically different than a 400,000 sqft office project). We can also add calcuated columns and divide value by GSF to slice projects by cost per square foot. Lots we could do

Thats just three for our firm, Im sure other firms would want other parameters. It would be nice if the ACC Out of the box parameter were kept light (I wouldn't want to see the OOB parameters to be a sea of junk) and firms were allowed to customize parameters for more effective, more tailored dashboarding.

You are absolutely right, I also have a few project-fields that I would definitely need for further evaluations. It is especially important that these can also be accessed via the data connector and the API so that they can be used in the reports.

This is even a better idea than just adding specific fields other users have requested, such as business units.
