On the Projects > Tools page, if you have the required privileges, you can apply actuals, summarize, or schedule a project. You can also run the Project Architect to create a project plan based on imported methodologies.
Note: To summarize, apply actuals, or run Project Architect, the Oracle Primavera Job Service must be installed and configured for the database you are using. For scheduling, the Web Scheduler is enabled by default, but it does not provide the option to level resources when scheduling. To level resources, you must use the Job Service instead of the Web Scheduler. Contact your administrator for information and assistance.

Choose a project to work with on the Tools page
You can work with any open project on the Tools page; however, you can only work with one project at any given time. When you open multiple projects in the Projects section, all open projects you have rights to access are listed in the Select Project box, which is located at the top right of the page.
To work with a project, choose an open project from the list. Any action you perform, and all data that appears on the page, applies to the selected project only.
Note: The Select Project field does not appear when only one project is open in the Projects section.
To start a job
Click the corresponding link. If necessary, choose a new data date before starting a job.
To set scheduling options
Before scheduling a project, click Scheduling Options to specify settings that affect schedule calculations. For example, you can choose to include or exclude relationships between activities in your project and activities in another project (referred to as external relationships).
The options you choose apply only to the project you are currently working with and, except for the option to level resources, are saved with the project. For more information, see Scheduling Options.
