Open a shell

Open a shell to access the shell functions.

To access shells

From your user home page, click a shell tab.

When you click a shell tab, the shell landing page displays. From the shell log, you can access the various subshells listed.

To open a shell

Select a shell from the shell log and click Open. When you open the shell, the Navigator expands, providing access to shell-level features and business processes.

To find a shell

Since shell hierarchies can be extensive, Primavera Unifier provides a Find feature to help you locate a specific shell.

Click the anchor shell tab that contains the shell you want to locate.

The shell dashboard appears, and a “mini log” of sub-shells appears at the bottom of the window.

From the View drop-down list on the mini log, select the sub-shell you want to search.

Click the Find button.

To accommodate the Find operation, Primavera Unifier collapses the dashboard to show only the mini log, and displays a Find window.

On the Find window, you can search for shells using a geocode search or you can search for shells using search operators on shell information. Operators such as “contains” or “is not empty” can help you narrow the search for the shell.

•

To search using a geocode, enter an address, latitude, longitude, or radius

•

To search on shell information using operators:

Choose the operator you want to use on the field, such as “equals,” “does not contain,” or “is empty.”

Enter the value the field should contain.

Click Search (or press Enter). Primavera Unifier displays all the shells that meet the search criteria you entered.

If you choose to, you can cancel the find operation by clicking [Cancel Filter] or the x icon in the upper-right corner of the window. Primavera Unifier will restore the mini log to its unfiltered state.

When you have finished using the Find feature, click the Restore button to return the dashboard to normal view.
