The Integration tab in shell template attribute window is used to map multiple P6 projects with the respective Unifier shell. The Link Multiple Projects option enables the user to map multiple projects between P6 and Unifier.
- If this option is enabled, then the user is able to map P6 projects by entering the ID in the respective column present in the tab.
- If this option is disabled, then the existing architecture and synchronization for mapping single P6 project to a Unifier shell is used.
Note: The mapping is used for Activity Sheet, only. Mapping does not have any impact on the existing summary sheet. For details about summary sheet see Setting Up and Managing Asset Sheets.
The Integration tab in shell template attribute window has the following options:
- Link Multiple Projects
- Add
- Remove
- Apply
- OK
- Cancel
The Integration tab in shell template attribute window has the following columns:
- Project ID
An alphanumeric field that can be populated using Add. The Project ID cannot be modified or removed from this tab.
- Project Name
- Schedule Type
While you create the mapping, you are required to enter only the Project ID (marked as mandatory field). Unifier populates the other columns (Project Name and Schedule Type) when you run project synchronization.
When you add projects, using this tab, to create an Activity Sheet:
- You cannot deselect the Link Multiple Projects option from this tab.
- You cannot modify, or remove, a Project ID.
The user can change the synchronization from the Gateway node, in Company Workspace. In this scenario:
- If the Link Multiple Projects option is disabled, then the system uses synchronization in "P6 Integration Parameters"
- If the Link Multiple Projects option is not disabled, then the system uses synchronization in multiple P6 projects.
If the user decides to change the existing mapping setup (Activity Sheet) and selects the Link Multiple Projects option, Unifier replaces the existing Activity Sheet with P6 projects after the next synchronization.
If the user decides to change the existing mapping setup (P6 Projects) and deselects the Link Multiple Projects option, Unifier cannot process the change because multiple P6 projects have already been mapped.
If a user tries to Remove a project that is mapped to an Activity Sheet, unifier cannot process the change because the schedule for the project is present in the Activity Sheet.
