Integration Tab

The Integration tab in the shell template attribute window is used to map multiple P6 projects with the respective Unifier shell.

Note:

The mapping is only used for the Activity Sheet.

The Integration tab has the following options and columns:

Options:

  • Add
  • Remove
  • Apply
  • OK
  • Cancel

Columns:

  • Project ID

    An alphanumeric field that can be populated using Add. The Project ID cannot be modified or removed from this tab.

  • Project Name
  • Schedule Type

While you create the mapping, you are required to enter only the Project ID (marked as a required field). Unifier populates the other columns (Project Name and Schedule Type) when you run project synchronization.

When using this tab to add projects to create an Activity Sheet:

  • You cannot modify, or remove, a Project ID.
  • If the Link Multiple Projects option is not disabled, the system uses synchronization in multiple P6 projects.

If the user decides to change the existing mapping setup (Activity Sheet), Unifier replaces the existing Activity Sheet with P6 projects after the next synchronization.

A user can remove a project integrated to an activity sheet provided it is not used in other modules such as Cash Flow, Cost Sheet, Earned Value Management (EVM), any business processes, or in-flight jobs. Any existing integrated Activity data in Activity Sheets and WBS data in WBS Sheets is also deleted on deleting the Integrated Source (P6 or Primavera Cloud) project from the Primavera Gateway/Integration tab in Shell details.

You can integrate multiple P6 projects into one Unifier project.

  • When you integrate (Project ID mapping) a P6 project into a Unifier project through the General tab of the Shell Attribute Form, Unifier updates the Schedule Type field in General tab. The General tab is mostly used for one-to-one integration (one P6 project mapped to one Unifier project).
  • When you integrate (Project ID mapping) multiple P6 projects into one Unifier project through the Integration tab of the Shell Attribute Form, Unifier does not update the Schedule Type field in the General tab. In the Integration tab, the Schedule Type column is updated. The Integration tab is mostly used for many-to-one integration (many P6 projects mapped to one Unifier project).
