P6 Professional can connect to two databases, a P6 Professional database and a P6 EPPM database. Depending on which database you are connected to, some topics within the user's guide and some information within certain topics will be relevant while others will not.
Topics that are only relevant to one database will be qualified in the title of the topic. When a topic title is followed by (P6 Professional Only), this topic will only be relevant when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 Professional database. When a topic is followed by (P6 EPPM Only), this topic will only be relevant when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 EPPM database. For example, the topic, "Defining Administration Preferences (P6 Professional Only)," contains information only relevant when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 Professional database.
Other topics will include information that is relevant when connected to either database. These topics will not be qualified. For example, the information in the topic, "Create a project," applies when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 Professional database and when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 EPPM database.
Other topics will include some information that is only relevant when connected to a P6 Professional and some that is only relevant when connected to a P6 EPPM database. These topics will include conditional phrases such as:
- "When connected to a P6 Professional database,"
- "When P6 Professional is connected to a P6 EPPM database,"
- "(P6 EPPM Only),"
- "This icon only appears when P6 Professional is connected to a P6 Professional database."
Within our documentation, some content might be specific for cloud deployments while other content is relevant for on-premises deployments. Any content that applies to only one of these deployments is labeled accordingly.
