S1 // Projects Tab
Use this tab to create and maintain project workbooks and to import, view, and edit project data.
Project data can come from multiple sources and platforms. It can be a combination of cost, schedule, risk, or any other type of project management data.
Before you can analyze your projects, you must:
- Create or open a workbook.
- Create external data project links.
- Import the project data.
After you import your project data, you can perform such tasks as:
- Manipulate schedules
- Create scenarios
- View or edit activity details
