Header Fields

Field	Description
x of x	Use these arrow icons to scroll through the records in the search results and display a different record to display on the form. The numbers indicate which record you are viewing out of the total number of records in the search results.
+ New Project	Click this option to create a new project. This option is available if your security role has the access rights required for adding records. When you add a new project, `Vantagepoint` also creates a plan for that project. Depending on how you add the project, you may have an option of copying an existing project plan. If not, `Vantagepoint` automatically creates a plan for the project using default settings, so you can immediately begin entering planning data.
	Click this icon next to the project name to display the Project Structure dialog box. If the project has a WBS with more than one level or it has a linked promotional project, the dialog box displays the levels and elements in the structure. You can then select another WBS element to display in the Projects hub, or you can edit the project structure. You can also select a WBS element for the linked promotional project, if one exists. If the project currently only has one level in the WBS and no linked promotional project, the Project Structure dialog box gives you options for adding WBS elements at lower levels. Click + Create a New Project Structure to add WBS elements individually using the Edit Project Structure form. To choose WBS elements from a project template, select the template in Use a Project Template and click Use Template. By default, the Project Structure dialog box displays immediately below this icon, and when you select a WBS element, it closes. However, if you are working in the Projects hub and you want the dialog box to remain open after you make a selection so it is readily available for navigating to other WBS elements, drag the dialog box to a different location. It will then remain open while you work, as long as you do not select a different project or leave the Projects hub.
	If the project belongs to a billing group, click this icon next to the project name to display the Billing Group dialog box. That dialog box displays the projects in the billing group, along with any lower-level WBS elements, so you can select another project or lower-level WBS element to display in the Projects hub.
Project Name and Project Number	When you select a project to view or edit, the project's name and number display at the top of the form below the search field. If you navigate to a lower level work breakdown structure (WBS) element, the number and name of that element and the number and names of the parent elements above it in the WBS are displayed.
and	Click to the right of the Summary pane to collapse the pane and expand the main part of the form. When the Summary pane is collapsed, click to expand and display it.

Import GovWin IQ Opportunities	Select this option to connect to your GovWin IQ instance and import one or more opportunity records from GovWin IQ as in pursuit projects in `Vantagepoint`.
Import GovWin IQ Opportunities	This option displays if GovWin IQ Integration is enabled on the GovWin IQ form (Utilities > Integrations > GovWin IQ), and if `Vantagepoint` is set up to use auto-numbering for project numbers. (If auto-numbering is not implemented for projects, this option is not available. In that case, you can only import opportunities from GovWin IQ one at a time by selecting From GovWin IQ in How to Create Project on the New Project form.)
Delete Plan Assignments	Select this action to remove all of the plan's assignments for resources, expense types, and consultant types, all planned hours and amounts, and the baseline, leaving theproject with an empty plan. Note, however, that assignments that have actual job-to-date (JTD) hours or amounts are not removed, though their planned hours or amounts are. If the plan has a baseline and you do not have access rights to change the baseline, this action is not available.
Revert	Select this action to discard unpublished changes and return to the most recently published version of the plan and its baseline plan. This action is available if the plan contains changes that have not yet been published, whether or not those changes have been checked in.
Plan Settings	Select this action to display the Plan Settings dialog box and specify the budget type, the cost and billing rate methods, tables, and multipliers, and other settings to use for the currently selected plan. If the plan is not already checked out to you, this action automatically checks it out.
Check In Plans	Select this option to open the Check In Plans dialog box. This dialog box lists all the plans currently checked out to you and allows you to select the ones you want to check in. You can check in the plans that are checked out to you and, if your security role is an Administrator role, you can also check in plans that are checked out to others. Be aware that checking in a plan that is checked out to someone else may result in them losing their unsaved changes.
Project Settings	Select this option to display the Project Settings dialog box. In that dialog box, you can select display options for the project search results list and the project structure.
Design	If your security role gives you access, select this option to open the Screen Designer, which you can use to add tabs, grids, fields, and field properties. The Screen Designer is composed of two sections: a canvas area (on the left) that lets you view the design changes that you make to the form, and a list of tabs, fields, and properties (on the right) that can be defined and added to the screen. Click the in the upper right corner of a field or tab to remove it from the form.
