Understanding the Project Costing WorkCenter and Dashboard

The Project Costing WorkCenter is a central navigational component that is designed for the end user. The goal of the WorkCenter is to help an end user become more efficient by accessing frequently used pages and pagelets, and by keeping multiple windows open while performing daily tasks.

The Project Costing WorkCenter is delivered with sample data. It is the responsibility of the system administrator from your organization to design and create links so that users can view and access specific links, pages, and pagelets.

Note: The data in the Projects WorkCenter is created from the list of My Projects for the user. Therefore all exception, pivot grid, and query data is associated with the data in the My Projects list for the user.
