Define Clickable Websites

You can create a list of websites that users can launch from user defined fields (UDFs), projects websites, and Notebook topics, by double clicking on the website and selecting Launch.

For any text field in edit mode, users can right click on the website, then choose to either launch or copy the site.

To add a website, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to P6 Professional.
  2. Choose Admin, Admin Preferences.
  3. Click the Exception Site List tab.
  4. Click Add and enter the website.
  5. Mark the checkbox next to a website to make it clickable by users.

Here are some rules on how to specify websites:

  • Website paths cannot contain spaces. You can include %20 in a path to represent a space.

    For example: http://www.magnacorp.com/Primavera%20Applications

  • Wildcards are allowed. For example, you can add https://* and http://* to allow all sites that begin with these roots to be launchable.
  • Here are some examples of entries and how they would be handled:

    Website paths must begin with any of the following:

    https:// http:// ftps:// ftp:// mailto: telnet://

    Allowed site: https://www.magnacorp.com/document

    This would allow:

    • https://www.magnacorp.com/document
    • https://www.magnacorp.com/document/RiceB/1MCSbdcXKQ

    but would NOT allow:

    • http://www.magnacorp.com/document/RiceB/1MCSbdcXKQ

      because the exception site begins with https://

    • https://www.magnacorp.com/projectnano/document

      because the allowed site specifies /document after .com.

    Allowed site: https://*.magnacorp.com

    This would allow:

    • https://www.magnacorp.com
    • https://server.magnacorp.com/user/942374/my-drive
    • https://apps.magnacorp.com/development/projectnano

    But would not allow:

    • https://magnacorp.com

      because the template requires there to be something between https:// and magnacorp.com.

    A selected item with a wildcard in the site allow list overrides an unselected item if it matches the template specified with the wildcard.

    For example:

    • Selected: https://*.magnacorp.com
    • Unselected: https://apps.magnacorp.com

    In this situation, the website https://apps. magnacorp.com will be clickable, because the template including the wildcard * is selected.
