When you open a project or group of projects in the Projects section, P6 Web Access launches the Projects landing page. The landing page is specified in your assigned user interface view and can be any available page in the Projects section. After landing in the Projects section, use the Projects toolbar (shown below) to choose the page you want to work with.
Tips:
-
The icon tabs that appear on the Projects toolbar, and the order in which they appear, depend on the settings defined in your assigned user interface view. You can view and modify your personal view settings in View Preferences; however, your ability to modify your settings is based on an administrative option. To access View Preferences, click Preferences at the top of any page, then select the View tab.
-
If only one Projects page is selected for display in your assigned user interface view, the Projects toolbar does not appear when you navigate to the Projects section.
-
By default, labels appear on the icon tabs in the Projects toolbar. You can turn off labels on tab icons in Global Preferences. To access Global Preferences, click Preferences at the top of any P6 Web Access page. To turn the labels on or off, on the Global tab, mark or clear the Display text on tab icons checkbox, which appears in the General section.
Pages in the Projects section are designed to present a specific subset of information and to enable you to record project data. Some pages offer customization options.
