Checking projects in and out
Adrega PI registers when a project is opened for editing and labels it as Checked Out (Locked). When a project is flagged as Checked out it is impossible for other users to edit the project, however it can be opened in read only mode. If a client is disconnected from the network without first saving and closing the pro...
To check in the project:
Select the project in the Projects list, and then click the Check in project button .
If the project has been checked out by another person or you have checked it out using another PC, you will see a dialogue window asking you to confirm that you do want to check it in.
If you try to open a project that has been checked out by another person or by yourself but on another computer, an information window will be displayed allowing to cancel opening or opening the project as read only.
Opening One or Multiple Projects
In Adrega PI you can open one or multiple existing projects at the same time. Opening a Single Project
To open a project:
In the Planning module select Projects.
In the projects list, highlight the project you wish to open and select Activities, or any other planning view.
The selected project will be opened in the function window. Opening Multiple Projects
You can also open multiple projects in read-only mode.
To open multiple projects:
Select multiple projects in the Projects view.
Click Activities or any other planning view. The projects will be loaded as a Project Group in the selected planning view.
Working with Project Group
The Save operation cannot be performed for a Project Group, however all standard functionality of Adrega PI is available. In particular you can do the following with the Project Group:
You can add or remove links from activities or milestones or load all the projects you are responsible for and perform what-if scenarios. You can prioritize when a new project could start or see effect of delays being experienced in already started projects or projects that have not yet started.
You can apply grouping to activities and projects. For example, when you group for new activity codes you can see activities across all projects using a common set of values (say discipline).
You can apply filtering to activities and projects. As a sample, you can filter, so only activities set with the engineering discipline code are displayed in the Project Group. In addition, summary values at the Project
Group level recalculate all numerical values, for example actual and current work for only the items that match the applied filter.
To support correct scheduling of each project that is loaded into a Gantt view as a Project Group, a summary with the default name Summary Multi-Project Milestones is automatically added in row 2 of the Gantt view (sort set to ID). Inside this summary the Start and Finish milestones are added for each project in the pr...
You can select whether to show/hide Summary Multi-Project Milestones . In the Table pane, right-click and select the Hide Summary Milestones toggle.
Summary Multi-Project Milestones are added to ensure that the correct schedule for each project in Project Group is displayed.
If activities between different projects are linked as part of a what-if scenario, the resulting schedule will be correctly calculated without the need to modify the Multi-Project Start and Finish Milestones.
One advantage of adding Multi-Project Milestones is that modifying the start date of the milestone will automatically reschedule the corresponding project. For example, if a project that has not yet started needs to move two months to the right, editing the start date of the Multi-Project Start Milestone that is linked...
Template Projects
Template projects are the projects that were created under system administrator login. This login is the only one that allows editing and deleting template projects.
Template projects are visible for all other users in the Projects view, however the Options menu for such project is only available for the system administrator.
