Dimensions

Several workspaces are available under this menu group for managing dimensions.

Use the workspaces under the Project Dimensions submenu for creating and managing absence types, event groups, event status, and project status.

Likewise, workspaces under the General Dimensions submenu are available for creating and managing dimensions for business areas, companies, customers, local specifications, project types, and specifications.

You can configure dimension-based coloring in any of the workspaces. This functionality enables users to quickly distinguish project types or statuses of cells in Gantt charts.

Note: If you have imported dimensions from Maconomy, you can only edit fields on these if they have not been imported from Maconomy, such as the Color column. You also cannot delete imported dimensions.

When this functionality has been set up, color coding becomes available across the Web Components. However, if you change the designated color for a dimension, this does not reflect in an already-open session. The user must refresh the system to reflect the change.

This feature is also available in the Resource Summary Load and Resource Summary % views. However, these views utilize other color-coding functionality. Any existing color-coding based on assigned categories and teams will be overridden by the dimension color. Additionally, color-coding priority in these views are as follows:

• If no color-coding applies, the cell remains in the default style (no color).
• If the cell is an absence with an associated absence color, that coloris applied. Note that absence type color-coding only overrides dimension-based color coding if the Is absence color selected before custom color setting is enabled.
• Event dimension-based color coding is applied.
