Edit Project Home Contents dialog box

Use this dialog box to customize your Project Home activity center and the Activities drop-down list. Use it to:

• Select which activities appear in the Project Home activity center and the order in which they appear.

• Configure the Activities drop-down list.

• Add web sites and other Windows applications as custom activities.

• Configure which buttons appear in the Toolbar.

The activities that you select apply only to you when you login to Project Center. If other users open the same project, they will see their own configuration, not yours.

The activities that appear in this dialog box are set by an administrator in the Edit Project Settings dialog box Activities tab.

Hidden Activities

This list contains activities that you are not using and do not appear in the Project Home activity center or the Activities drop-down list. If there are any items in this section you want to use, drag them into either the Favorite Activities field or the Activities field to add them to the Project Home activity center and the Activities drop-down list.

Drag items from the Favorite Activities or Activities sections into this section to remove them from the Project Home activity center and the Activities drop-down list. For information on unused activities that have an asterisk (*), see Custom Activity Examples.

 

Project Home

Favorite Activities

The items listed in this section appear in the Favorite Activities section of the Project Home activity center, the Activities drop-down list, and as buttons in the Toolbar.

Activities

The items listed in this section appear in the Activities section of the Project Home activity center, as well as the Activities drop-down list, but they will not appear as buttons in the Toolbar.

You can set the order in which activities appear in both the Project Home activity center and Activities list by moving them up or down in these two sections.

The activity centers in the Favorite Activities and Activities sections are always listed under their default Project Center names. For example, if an administrator changed the name of Change Order Proposals to Proposed Change Orders in the Edit Project Settings dialog box, it would still be listed in this dialog box as Change Order Proposals, which is the default name in Project Center.

Ungroup

Click to remove the selected activity from the group.

Add Group

Click to add a group to the Activities section. You must then drag and drop activities from any section to the group. This group will appear in the Project Home activity center and the Activities drop-down list.

Remove Group

Click to remove the selected group.

Rename Group

Click to rename the selected group.

 

Manage Custom Activities

Click to open the Manage Custom Activities dialog box to customize the list of activities that appear in your Project Home activity center.

Revert to Default

Click to revert your Project Home activity center to the last default settings configured by the Project Center administrator.

If you created custom activities, clicking Revert to Default removes them from the Project Home activity center, but does not delete them. They are placed in Hidden Activities.

Save as Default

This button is only available to Project Center administrators.

Click to save your Project Home activity center layout to the Project Center Server as the default. This becomes the default layout for all users when they log in to Project Center for the first time, or if they click Revert to Default, above. Users can customize their own layout anytime after they log in.

Save Changes

Click to save your changes and close this dialog box.
