Access path

• Portfolio Management Planning and Reports Planning Objects Grouped

Information

• This module provides an overview of existing planning objects (projects, ideas, proposals, programs, and requests).
• New planning objects can be created here (provided that the user has the respective rights).
• All planning objects are displayed grouped by two variable group criteria (which can be selected via the respective listboxes in the module header).
• Additionally, the third fixed grouping criterion is used: Own planning object (the current user is the manager of this planning object) / Other planning object (a person, who is not the current user, is the manager of the planning object).

Details

• Via the 1st grouping and 2nd grouping listboxes, grouping criteria can be changed. After you have clicked on the Use changes button, main projects are grouped by the newly selected criteria.
• By right-clicking on the required planning object and selecting the Edit planning object menu command, or by clicking on the ID number of the required planning object, you switch to the respective planning object panel (Project, Idea, Proposal, Program) in which planning object data can be edited or viewed depending on the user's rights.
• You can click on the New planning object button in order to create new ideas, proposals, projects, programs, or requests.
  • Only users with multi-project manager, multi-portfolio manager, and multi-project/multi-request manager rights are allowed to create ideas, proposals, and projects from this module.
