A user interface view is a customized view of the Dashboards, Portfolios, Projects, and Resources sections of P6 Web Access that enables you to fulfill your role in the organization. As a P6 Web Access user, your administrator can assign you a customized view of the application that provides access to functionality you require, while hiding functionality not applicable to your role.
Your administrator can select the tabs, tab icons, and action menu items available to you, and the order in which the items appear, in each section of P6 Web Access. For example, if you are a Resource Manager with module access rights to all sections of the application but your role is limited to planning resource allocation and assigning resources to activities, your administrator can create a user interface view that:
- In the Projects section, provides access to the Workspace, Team Usage, and Activities pages; hides all action menu items and all other pages.
- In the Resources section, provides full access to tabs and action menu items.
- In the Portfolios section, provides access to the Capacity Planning page only.
- In the Dashboards section, provides access to all action menu items (except for the Approve Timesheets action menu item because your organization does not use timesheets) as well as some global dashboards and multi-user dashboards configured by your administrator.
In View Preferences, you can review the settings defined in your assigned view. If you have the rights to edit your view, you can modify the settings to suit your needs by choosing the items you want to display, and specifying the display order in which selected items appear in the Dashboards, Portfolios, Projects, and Resources sections. To access View Preferences, click Preferences at the top of any page, then click the View tab.
