Project Detail items are as follows:

• % Complete – 

  • Completed percentage is displayed as a slider bar and numerically.

  • The colour of the slider bar represents the colour of the project performance traffic light.

  • You can adjust the project percent complete using the slider and the % complete figure will change accordingly. Furthermore, you can also enter a percentage value and the slider bar will automatically change to represent that numeric value.

  • The ‘Status’ dropdown will automatically change as the percentage changes.

    • If ‘% Complete’ is ‘0’, then 'Status' is ‘Not Started’.

    • If ‘% Complete’ is ‘100’, then ‘Status’ is ‘Completed’.

    • If the ‘0 <% Complete <100’, then ‘Status’ is ‘In Progress’.

    • You will not be able to make changes based on edit permissions.

• Target –

  • Target will be non-editable, and the value will be derived based on the following logic.

    • If the project progress is ‘Action Based Progress’ and the project is linked to an action, the target will be based on the action target.

    • If the project progress is ‘Action Based Progress’ and the project is NOT linked to an action, the target will be based on the calculation method defined.

    • If the project progress is ‘Project Based Progress’, the target will be based on the progress calculation method defined.

• Status –

  • When the ‘Status’ dropdown is editable, ‘% Complete’ (slider bar and the numeric figure) will automatically change based on the ‘Status’ as given below.

    • If ‘Status’ is ‘Not Started’, then ‘% Complete’ is ‘0’.

    • If ‘Status’ is ‘Completed’, then ‘% Complete’ is ‘100’.

    • If the ‘Status’ is ‘Ongoing’, then ‘% Complete’ is blank.

    • If the ‘Status’ is ‘In Progress’, then ‘%Complete’ will be editable and the value should be ‘0 <value <100’.

    • If the status is ‘Deferred’, then ‘% Complete’ will be editable.

• Start Date/End Date – 

  • Project Start and End date will be editable/non-editable based on the external setting “Is Project Duration Based on Gantt”.

  • If 'Is Project Duration Based on Gantt' is turned on: Start and End date will be non-editable. Project start and end dates will automatically adjust based on the earliest start and latest finish of the Gantt.

  • If ‘Is Project Duration Based on Gantt’ is turned off: User will be allowed to edit the project start and end dates.

• Baseline Start Date/ Baseline End Date – Displays the project Baseline Start Date.

• Append Task Comment button - You can add task comments to the overall project comment by clicking on this button.

• Project Comment – The project comment will not be editable when the project is linked to an action which is collaborative.
