Configuring Clickable Websites

You can create a list of URLs that P6, P6 Team Member, and P6 Professional will allow users to launch from notebook topics, UDFs, and other text felds. You can also create a list of files and file locations that P6 Professional will allow users to launch. In P6 Team Member Web, users launch sites from the dropdown icon next to the site. When a URL matches a selected Site Allow List entry, P6 EPPM opens it. If the URL does not match a selected entry, P6 EPPM copies it to your clipboard so you can paste it into a browser.

To configure a website to be clickable:

  1. On the "" Navigation Menu, expand "" Administration, then click Application Settings.
  2. On the Application Settings page, click Integration & Allow Lists.
  3. On the Integration & Allow Lists page, in the Site Allow List section, click Edit List.
  4. In the Site Allow List dialog box:
    • To add a website to the list, click "" Add (Ins) then enter the website URL.
    • To allow users to open a website from its link, mark the "" Selected option on that row.
    • To delete a website from the list, click "" Context and select Delete.
  5. When you have finished configuring the list, click Save.

Tip:

Here are some rules on how to specify websites:

  • Website and file 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://file:// (P6 Professional only) 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.
