Mapping P6 Projects in Shell Details

When Unifier is integrated with P6 via Gateway, an additional Gateway Integration tab is displayed in shell details.

  1. Navigate to the shell in which you want to map multiple P6 projects to perform Earned Value analysis.
  2. Click the more menu option (the three horizontal dots icon next to My Dashboard) and select Details.
  3. In the Gateway Integration tab, select the Link Multiple P6 Projects check box.

    This drives the synchronizations in the Gateway node.

  4. Click Add.
  5. In the Add P6 Project dialog box, enter the project ID and click OK.

The project name and schedule type are auto-populated after running the sync.

Only Cost Loaded and Resource Loaded projects are used in Earned Value Analysis. The Duration Based projects are ignored because they do not have cost data.

P6 includes a "Cost Spread" option that enables the user to spread cost based on "Linear" or "Units" spreads. Unifier only supports the "Linear" spread; it does not support the "Units" spread.

After the P6 project and its activities are synced to the Activity Sheet, you cannot modify or delete respective Project IDs. Clearing the Link Multiple P6 Projects check box also cannot be done if any P6 project IDs are added.

Note: The same P6 shells cannot be mapped to other shells in Unifier. The one-to-many relationship is only unique for Earned Value Management functionality.
