Project
Builder 
Use
In Release 4.6C the following changes and additions have been made to the Project Builder
- You can now schedule your project directly in the Project Builder, without having to switch to the project planning board.
- In the structure tree you can see the original application files of documents assigned to project objects. Depending on the Customizing settings you can display Office documents and the EAI viewer either in a separate window or in the detail screen area.
- You can create and edit simulation versions, which you can store user-specifically in the worklist and your templates.
- You can now access generic object services (for example attachment lists, personal notes, workflow) for objects using the context menu in the structure tree.
- You can call up Easy Cost Planning directly fron the Project Builder. You can use the following scenarios:
- For planning and calculating costs in projects that are primarily intended for cost controlling and that only use work breakdown structures. See also Easier Processing of Projects Concentrating on Cost Controlling
- For the preliminary costing of projects for which networks are used for concurrent costing after receiving the order. See also Easier Preliminary Costing for Projects Before Approval.
- You can call up Sales Pricing directly from the Project Builder. See also Sales Pricing in the Project Builder
- The system only reads networks when they are displayed in the structure tree. This reduces the time the system requires to load the Project Builder and improves performance. If you want to read all existing networks when loading the Project Builder, specify in the user settings that the structure should be expanded completely.
- A copy function for project substructures is now available in the structure tree. You can copy individual project objects together with their subordinate objects and insert them at another position in the project hierarchy.
- You can now also move milestones and PS texts in the structure tree using drag & drop.
