Project Record
The project record stores all the information about a project you need to track and manage, such as project status, type, start and end date, contact information, as well as any notes and actions you want to associate with the project.
Note: From a project record, you can delete the project and add alerts.
Detailed information about the project appears in the tiles on the record. You can open and close these tiles to view or hide the information. Each tile is described below.
Activity displays a summary of project activity information, including beginning and ending balances, revenue, expenses and net change. The full summary amount displays, regardless of the account security in place. When you view a period, all amounts that make up the summary number are displayed, however, the account ID and account description are masked.
You can filter the information using the Actual/Encumbrance and Fiscal year filters.
Budget displays a summary of budget activity information, including actual and budgeted amounts for a specified time period. The full summary amount displays, regardless of the account security in place. When you view a category, all amounts that make up the summary number are displayed, however, the account ID and account description are masked.
The Favorable/(unfavorable) column displays the difference between actual and budget amounts. You can filter the information using the Actual/Encumbrance, Fiscal year and Budget scenario filters.
Note: The Budget scenario filter shows only budgets that exist for the selected fiscal year on the selected project. If there are no budgets that exist for the selected fiscal year on the selected project, the drop-down menu is disabled.
From the Attachments tile on a project record, you can now upload or link to files you want attached to the project - such as images, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other files. For more information about media, see Attachments.
Tip: In the database view, you can attach files to projects from the Media tab. If a file saved on the Media tab doesn't open correctly under Attachments, verify it looks correct in the database view and then reattach it to the record in the web view.
