Overview

 

Project Central a centralized work space for Project Managers. PMs can view multi-project metrics or work with a single project to view project to date figures, set budgets and contracts, schedule resources and perform bill review. Project Central is organized (left to right) by the Navigator and a primary screen with drill in detail that consists of the following tabs: Overview (default tab), Bill Review, Contract, Budget, Schedule, Team, Contacts, Documents, and Addresses. Please note that when selecting multiple projects, only the Overview tab (with corresponding Charts and Detail) is available. The chapters that follow discuss each area of functionality in this powerful new applet (InFocus 2.0 and greater).
