Project Standards Tab  

Use

Standard values for status, keywords and documentation types for your project are all set in the same way in the project administration transaction. If no values have yet been assigned to a project, the project administrator can use the project template, which contains project-independent status values, keywords and documentation types.

The values in the project template are available to all projects of a project type. The project administrator decides which values should be used and assigns values to the project from the project template.

A project template, which already contains status, keyword and documentation type values, is assigned to each project type. You can adapt the project template to suit your project requirements.

Integration

The values specified in the Project Standards tab are the default values in the following tabs, in the Project Administration, Roadmap, Business Blueprint and Configuration:

·        Project Administration:

¡        General Data (status values)

·        Business Blueprint, Configuration, Roadmap

¡        Proj. Documentation (documentation types, keywords and status values)

·        Configuration

¡        Development (status values)

¡        Configuration (status values)

·        Roadmap

Prerequisites

The project member responsible for creating and changing status values, keywords and documentation types must have the corresponding project role and the S_PROJECTS authorization.

You are in the Project Administration transaction in change mode.

Features

There are three subtabs on the Project Standards tab:

·        Status

·        Keywords

·        Documentation types

Status Values tab

Status values provide you with information on the status of your project. Status values consist of a ten-character status ID and a description of the status. Status IDs should be meaningful.

The following status values are delivered:

Delivered status values

Status	Description	Effect
01	Open	None
02	In progress	None
03	Finished	No more changes can be made in the Administration tab
04	Not relevant	None

All new values appear in the Unused Status Values list and can be assigned to the project. You can search for status values in the Project Analysis transaction.

Keywords tab

You can define keywords for your project, which you can search for later in the Project Analysis transaction. Keywords should be concise.

The keywords are the default values for the classification of documents in the General Documentation and Project Documentation tabs (General Documentation or Project Documentation tabs ® Attributes pushbutton ® Attributes tab ® Classification).

Documentation Types tab

You can document the implementation and creation of templates in all types of projects, with various documentation types. You can use the various documentation types delivered by SAP as templates to structure your project documentation. You can also create your own documentation types for:

·        Minutes or decisions

·        Business Blueprints

·        Problem or error messages

Each documentation type has a unique ID. There are two types of project documentation:

·        Project-specific documentation

This documentation type is only valid in the project to which it is assigned.

·        Cross-project documentation

You can identify this documentation type by the Global Doc. indicator. The indicator is available for all projects and appears automatically in the Project Documentation Types list on the Documentation Types tab.

You can create project documentation templates for each documentation type. Proceed as described in Editing Document Templates.

You can analyze documentation types for the Business Blueprint in the Project Analysis transaction.
