| Lock Content
|
Click this command to lock the project so that the data cannot be overwritten. This feature is useful if you want to keep and compare historical data. When a project is locked, you cannot use
Import All for the selected project. You can still use
Import in which case Acumen will add a new project snapshot.
|

Click to add filters to the project data. Clicking this command displays a sub-menu where you can select filtering options before you import the data. You can also filter the data using the

|
| Set Text Encoding
|
Click to set text encoding for a Primavera XER project.
XER files do not include any information about what is being used to encode the files. If the file does not use standard encoding (for example, it uses Russian instead of English), then the characters may not display correctly when you import the file.
Set the text encoding after you have linked the Oracle Primavera project but
before you import the data.
