The Integration tab in shell template attribute window is used to map multiple P6 projects with the respective Unifier shell.
Note: The mapping is used for Activity Sheet, only. Mapping does not have any impact on the existing summary sheet. For details about summary sheet see Setting Up and Managing Asset Sheets.
The Integration tab in shell template attribute window has the following options:
- Add
- Remove
- Apply
- OK
- Cancel
The Integration tab in shell template attribute window has the following columns:
- Project ID
An alphanumeric field that can be populated using Add. The Project ID cannot be modified or removed from this tab.
- Project Name
- Schedule Type
While you create the mapping, you are required to enter only the Project ID (marked as mandatory field). Unifier populates the other columns (Project Name and Schedule Type) when you run project synchronization.
When you add projects, using this tab, to create an Activity Sheet:
- You cannot modify, or remove, a Project ID.
- If the Link Multiple Projects option is not disabled, then the system uses synchronization in multiple P6 projects.
If the user decides to change the existing mapping setup (Activity Sheet), Unifier replaces the existing Activity Sheet with P6 projects after the next synchronization.
If a user tries to remove (Remove) a project that is mapped to an Activity Sheet, unifier cannot process the change because the schedule for the project is present in the Activity Sheet.
You can integrate multiple P6 projects into one Unifier project.
- When you integrate (Project ID mapping) a P6 project into a Unifier project through the General tab of the Shell Attribute form, Unifier updates the Schedule Type field in General tab. The General tab is mostly used for one-to-one integration (one P6 project mapped to one Unifier project).
- When you integrate (Project ID mapping) multiple P6 projects into one Unifier project through the Integration tab of the Shell Attribute form, Unifier does not update the Schedule Type field in the General tab. In the Integration tab, the Schedule Type column is updated. The Integration tab is mostly used for many-to-one integration (many P6 projects mapped to one Unifier project).
