Migrating Projects (Standard) to CBS Shells
You can migrate one or multiple standard projects (Projects (Standard)) to CBS shell types that you specify. After migration, the new CBS shell is created in the shell hierarchy in the location you specify, and the standard project is no longer listed in the project log in Unifier. All of the data that existed under the standard project can then be accessed from the newly-created CBS shell.
Note: When you migrate a standard project to a CBS shell, you cannot undo the migration and return the shell to the standard project form. The migration cannot be reversed, so be sure that you want to perform the project-to-shell migration.
After you migrate standard projects to CBS shells, you can use the features that shells offer, such as:
- Hierarchical distribution, visualization and navigation of capital projects when organized under shell hierarchies based on business needs
- Configurable dashboards
- Roll up of cost data across the shell hierarchy
