Configuring Project Preferences for Multiple Projects

If you need to make changes to the preference for multiple projects simultaneously, you can make the change to the highest relevant EPS node. All changes you make to the fields, options, and lists in the project preferences dialog box at EPS level will be applied to all visible child projects in all visible child EPS nodes of the selected EPS node.

To change project preferences for multiple projects:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Projects and click EPS.
  2. Select an EPS node.
  3. Click the  Context menu and select Set Project Preferences.
  4. In the Project Preferences of EPS dialog box:
    1. Make the changes you want to apply to child projects.
    2. Click Apply.

      Note Only the preferences you edited will be applied to child projects.

    3. Click Save.

Tip

  • If you do not want to apply the change to all child projects of the selected EPS node, apply a filter to your view. Projects that are not selected to show in your view will not be modified when you change project preferences at the EPS level.
  • To change setting for multiple projects to the current default for the EPS node, select an option other than the default for that setting, then re-select the default setting before you apply the changes.
