Projects Form View Toolbar

The Projects form toolbar varies, depending on the view that you select. The List View is the default view when you display Projects from the Navigation menu. You need to click Form View on the toolbar to change the view.

For more information, see Projects Overview.

VCR Buttons

Use any of the following arrow buttons to navigate through available records:

Search

Enter the name of a project that you want to find in this field and then press ENTER. You can use either a single character or a string of characters.

Alternatively, you can click beside the field to display the Project Search dialog box, or you can click folder2.gif to navigate through all saved searches.

PM Compass remembers the last Project search selection(s) the next time you enter Projects. Thus, the Projects List View initially displays the same projects with which you previously worked. You can perform a new search if different projects are desired.

Save

Click this button to save a new project or any changes to an existing project. All changes reflect the next time you access the Projects form or view the changed fields in other forms.

New

Click this button to create a project. Clicking this button displays a drop-down list with the following options:

You cannot access the project that you set up in PM Compass via Cobra or Open Plan.

List View

Click this button to return to the Projects List View. To go back to the tab view, click Form View.

Form Designer

Click this button to display the Form Designer, which allows you to rearrange the tabs and fields.

Delete Project

Click this button to delete the selected project.

A message displays informing you that the process has been sent to the System Queue to delete the project. PM Compass adds a "Delete related workflows for <project name>" process to the Process Queue Manager.  

When you delete a project in PM Compass, a scheduled job is created to delete all the PM Compass data associated with the project in the following order:

The project is still visible and usable in the Project Form view and in other areas such as the Project Search dialog box until the project deletion process is complete.

In the event that the project deletion process fails, you can click this button again, or you can resubmit the failed process queue to restart the process.

When you delete a project that is also in Cobra, the project is not deleted from Cobra, only PM Compass.

For Cobra projects to be visible in PM Compass, you can use the Project Visibility tool.
