EPS Page

Overview

Use this page to manage the Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) and its projects. The EPS page displays schedules for any single project or group of projects you choose with detail windows, a Gantt chart, and a table. Use the EPS page to quickly update project details and run important operations including summarizing, creating templates, and importing or exporting project data.

Initially, this page displays a table with a Gantt chart, but you can customize this presentation of project data, creating and saving multiple EPS views, or data layouts, to meet your needs. The convenient EPS View list enables you to quickly switch between views, and you can manage multiple detail windows in tabs that you can reposition.

Note: If you do not have EPS/OBS access to an EPS element, but you do have access to a project in an EPS, you will still be able to view the project on this page.

Screen Elements

EPS toolbar

The EPS toolbar is made up of three separate toolbars with matching menus: Actions Menu on EPS Page, Edit Menu on EPS Page, and View Menu on EPS Page. The EPS View toolbar, also located on the EPS page, is a fixed toolbar used to move between EPS views like the table and the Gantt chart. See EPS Toolbar.
