Using Projects
Your project can have one of four statuses:
- Active: A live, in-progress project.
- On-Hold: The initial project status. On-Hold projects are listed on the projects log, but you cannot work with them.
- View-Only: View-Only projects can be viewed, printed, exported, and included in reports. You cannot modify any data in View-Only projects. This allows you to view past projects without allowing changes to these projects.
- Inactive: Used to suspend project usage. Inactive projects are visible to Administrators, but not to end users. Only System and Project Administrators (users with Modify Status rights) can reactivate the project.
Note: If automatic status update is enabled on a project, the status of the project can change from Active to an inactive status (On-Hold, View-Only, Inactive). The change of status is set up by the Administrator, and is based on defined triggering conditions. For example, if a project is close to exceeding its funding, it might make sense to put it On-Hold while funding matters are discussed. Your project administrator must manually change the status back to Active when you are ready to restart the project.
The Project Administrator will receive email notification when the status of a project changes. The change of project status could occur due to a manual change, bulk update, through Web Services or a CSV file, or through automatic update.
