Set up project progress tracking (Progress tab)
The Progress tab of the Project window helps you track the progress of your project. You can manage milestones and project phase from this window. This information is displayed on the Progress pane of the Project landing page. This means a project administrator can quickly view the current status of a project and make modifications as necessary. Project Phase can affect other modules such as triggering when certain workflows or documents become available.
The Progress tab can be linked to the Project Schedule Sheet. By setting up the Project properties to integrate with the Schedule Manager, changes in the schedule manager will automatically change the progress indicator in the project or program Progress tab. (The Schedule Manager is referenced.)
The Project Phase can be set manually, or can be maintained manually (see Setting up Gates.)

- Open the Progress tab of the Project or Template window.
- Complete the tab as described in the following table.
- Click Apply to save changes, or Ok to save and exit.

Project Phase | If you are manually managing project phases, you can choose from this list for template and projects. Note: If you are using Gates, this list may not be applicable. Project Phase is a system-defined Data Definition that is pre-filled when the company is created. You can update this list by navigating to Data Structure Setup > Data Definitions > General and add new values to the Data Set list. Note: Project Phase is associated with Files and Folders in the Document Manager. Files and Folders can be given a Phase Property. Then, the only Folders and Files that will show in the DM are those folders without a Phase Property or one that matches what is set in Project Setup. |
