project to view or edit.
Click the filter drop-down arrow
on the left side of the search field, and select one of the following search types:
For these searches, a project is considered active if the status of the project-level WBS element is Active. The option that you select in the Project Settings dialog box determines the order in which the projects display in the list: by name or by number. To change that setting, select Project Settings and Tools on the Actions menu. If warning conditions exist for any of the projects, a red or yellow warning indicator (, for example) displays next to them on the list.

Click the Switch to List View icon to switch to the list view of the hub form. In this view, fields are displayed in columns in one grid on the form rather than on separate tabs. Hub records are displayed in each row in the grid. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid by clicking
to the right of the grid. This opens the List View Settings dialog box.
For information about selecting columns, see Select Columns for a Grid. For more information about working in list view, see Use List View. |

After you have switched to list view, click the Switch to Detailed View icon to switch back to the detailed view of the form. Detail view is the default view that displays when you open a hub for the first time; thereafter, the view that was active when you closed the application will display when you open. In detailed view, all fields in the hub are displayed on tabs on the hub form. The detail view is the format that is described in help topics in the Help system. | |

project management and accounting data to reviewing and entering
project planning data.
When you click Plan, for example, planning tabs display instead of the project management and accounting tabs, and the Actions menu now contains planning options. If your security role gives you no access to project planning, the toggle is disabled. |
