Open Project table: Lists all EPS nodes and the projects in the currently selected portfolio. Project Status lists the state of the project: planned, active, inactive, or what-if. Note that a padlock icon 
on top of a folder icon indicates a user has the associated project opened in Exclusive access mode.
Tips

Note
- If you select a new project portfolio, the data is loaded into memory immediately. Cancel will not undo this change.
