Integration

You can analyze the administrative data for your project for each project phase (see Project Analyses).

Prerequisites

You have checked the status in the project preparation when defining the project standards. You have entered all project team members during project preparation. The values you have specified are displayed as default values in the Administration tab.

The functions available on the Administration tab depend on the authorizations in the project role assigned to a project member.

Features

Status

You can enter the status value manually, or select a value from the proposal list.

Dates

You can enter the planned and actual dates manually or select the date from the calendar. An error message appears if you enter dates outside the project period. For further information, see General Data.

Project Team Members

You can assign the project team members, whom you have put in the project team member list in the Project Team Member tab in the Project Administration, to the tasks, in the Business Blueprint and Realization phases.

Keywords

You can assign the keywords which you have defined in the Project Standards tab in the Project Administration, to the structure elements. For more information, see Status, Keywords and Documentation Types.

Passing data on to subitems

This function passes the status and plan data to all subordinate structure elements.
