General Section of the Global Tab of the My Preferences PageOverview Use this section to modify general preferences. Screen Elements Send e-mail to resources upon adding or removing assignments option When a resource is replaced on an activity, an e-mail is sent to the removed resource and to the replacement resource. When the automatic e-mail option is on, confirmation messages are sent to you, indicating the names of the recipients. If a resource does not have an e-mail address stored in the project database, no e-mail can be sent. In this case, you will know that the resource was not notified because you will not receive a confirmation message with that resource's name. Prompt before sending e-mail option Determines whether to prompt you before sending an e-mail. Calculate performance and earned value information by Select from one of the following options to calculate performance and earned value information. Calculate Performance and Earned Value Information lets you choose whether to display earned value information, performance indicators, and indices based on cost or labor units. For example, when you display earned value information on the Portfolios Performance Status tab, you will see either Costs or Labor Units data, depending on how you set this preference.
Display actual and earned value using financial period data option Display actual and earned value using financial period data lets you choose to view information based on past period actuals data that has been stored for custom financial periods. This option applies to the histogram and spreadsheet displays in the Portfolios Gantt Chart, Projects Team Usage view, and Resources Usage view. When you choose this option, stored financial period values for actuals are distributed evenly from the start to the finish date defined for a financial period and earned value calculations are based on these stored period quantities. If you do not choose this option, actuals data is spread evenly from the actual start to the data date or actual finish date of the activity or assignment. Note: If you choose this option but period performance has not been stored, total reported actuals display in the timescale period representing the data date. For more information, contact your P6 administrator or Project Management Office. If projects are summarized by financial period (which is controlled in Application Settings in P6), this option is ignored. When projects are summarized by financial period and you display a financial period timescale, the profile displays past period actual values if performance has been stored for a financial period; for financial periods that do not have stored performance, the profile displays all unit and cost values in financial period intervals. Display text under page icons option Display text under page icons enables you to show or hide toolbar button text on the Portfolios and Projects toolbars. Getting Here
