Use the Open Project dialog to open a project or project group (EPS, portfolio, or project code value). You can choose to open any combination of projects, portfolios, EPS nodes, and project code values.
Note: The Open Project dialog only displays projects, EPS nodes, and project codes you have rights to access. If you choose to open an EPS, portfolio, or project code value, the application opens only the projects contained within the EPS, portfolio, or project code for which you have access rights.
To sort the list of available projects by EPS, portfolios, or project codes, click , then choose a sort option: EPS, Portfolios, or Project Codes. By default, projects are sorted by EPS.
To search for projects to open, click , choose the items you want to search, then enter your search criteria. For example, when the list of available projects is sorted by EPS, you can choose to search projects only, EPS only, or both projects and EPS nodes. To clear search results and return to the list of projects, delete your search criteria.
To open a project or group of projects
To move a single project, EPS node, portfolio, or project code value from the Available Projects list to the Selected Projects list, double-click or drag the item.
To move multiple projects, EPS nodes, portfolios, or project code values at once, use Ctrl-click to select the items you want to move, then click .
When finished, click OK. The project(s) you selected are opened on the Projects landing page, which may be any available page in the Projects section and is determined by the settings defined in your assigned user interface view. Depending on your view settings, you may be able to edit your view preferences to specify a different landing page.
Notes:
-
When you choose to open an EPS node, the application opens all projects belonging to that EPS node and its child EPS nodes.
-
You cannot select a project code; you can only select project code values. When the dialog is organized by project codes, you must expand the list of project codes to display the values associated with those codes. For example, if there's a project code named Location, with code values of North, South, East, and West, you can choose to open one of the code values, but not the project code Location.
To clear a project, double-click the project in the list of Selected Projects. The project is removed from the Selected Projects list, and is displayed in the list of Available Projects.
To choose the Activity View you want to display when you navigate to the Projects > Activities page after opening the project or group of projects, click , then select an available activity view. Selecting an Activity View is useful when you want to filter the activities that display on the Activities page.
You do not have to choose the Activity View you want to display on the Activities page from this dialog; on the Activities page, you can choose an Activity View to display at any time. If you do not specify an Activity View, the last Activity View you displayed on the Activities page is selected by default.
